I was going to suggest you sell that money pit and buy an amplifier with tubes designed to amplify RF. Maybe not a good idea because that kind of amplifier wouldn't have just shocked you.


Most of the time there is never a good reason to be in a hot amplifier. Discharge the thing and put a jumper from b+ to ground while you're working on it as a safety. It could save your life.
