I have no clue I'm in the process of trying to nail down the info on the linear. This item was my mothers she has passed on and this is what I asked for all mom's cb equipment base/mobile/linear/freak meters/volt-watt meter/40' foot steel tower. The base she had was a Courier Centurion and a (mobile) Courier Gladiator both have been modified so I think because there are things on the boards that look like they have been added (soldered) here is a picture of the base with 2 toggle switches underneath it what are they for ? I got no clue

I got one of those old Gladiators. That was a sweet talking ssb rig in it's time.

Looks like the makings of a mighty fine setup for you right there.
Maybe add an Astatic D-104/Silver Eagle or a Turner+3 mic and - wham!
Of course, you will have to re-tube that amp and maybe check out the power supply in it. Or just put the tubes in it and take it to a tech and have them go thru it.

Either way, with the 40 ft tower and a decent antenna and that gear - you should be walkin the dog!

I've got a Golden Falcon 1000 and it has 6LF6's in it. I have seen them with different ones however. Whichever one was cheapest at the time is what went in them from what I have heard.

6lw6 if you rewire the heaters in pairs as 8908 has 12v heater.

A kw really from 5 tubes?
NJ7P Tube Database Search
The 6lf6 was rated at 40w plate dissipation.
So 200 watts total plate area gives you 1000w peak. I suppose so if you count harmonic power.
