Smallest Dual-6146 HF Transmitter?

[kd4e]

I have used a TR-7 on 75M AM and the guys could not tell that it
was not a plate modulated rig - one of the best rigs ever made!

This project is to fulfill an adolescent dream for a nice strong
sounding all-tube plate modulated AM rig.

I will likely have to make some severe mods to something to get
where I want to be!  If I can just find something with dual 6146's,
room for the rf components, and a sturdy supply the rest is 'easy'.

Modifying a Drake T-4 is an interesting option.  As I recall the
power supply is pretty sturdy.
