17kv6

Depending on 2 things the amps had 17kv6s.the size of the amp and also its age,the older and larger XLs had 6kv6s and some of the more modern had 17kv6s .also on some of the the newer ones had a band selector on them.Abe Brewer was really trying to draw the Ham market right before the Muskogee county sherriff and FCC shut him down.my dad was a factory rep for him for 5 or 6 years here in okla:mellow:

Thats about it, Brewer Labs did not publish a lot of schematics and I have never seen one of the solid state 600.
If you have one, close up pictures would be appreciated.

amp runs 6kd6 and 6 kv6 yes there are subs, thats what it came with./
 
My post that you quoted was about a solid state amp, the Varmit SS 600, not a tube Amp.
The link won't work, but I do remember posting pictures of the transistor amp many years ago.
The SS 600 is a very rare amp.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
