One last thought. This thing was designed to burn rubber with the comparatively "tiny" transmitters of the early 70s when it was designed. 16 or 18 Watts peak, max.

Radios are now two, three or four times the wattage of an average base station from those days. A solid-state radio with two finals will drive it straight to the junkyard.

Just too much drive power.
