I think that is a class c 1 pill, a MRF 455, or some of the later ones had 2290`s in them i think.
You could add a delay to it but not sure how it is going to sound on SSB.

Howdy Doc , look inside the box , It's made by Texas Star , it might have 2 x 2290s in it , I had one that did, Jeff might be right as well , let us know. But one thing is for sure , it is Class C AM for the most part ,it might work on SSB (have you tried it there ?) even though it is class C , it can still work but it isn't the best of situations concerning audio on SSB in Class C , but it still could work. But the amp would work very well on the AM side of your PC 122 , that much I do know. If your looking for a SSB compatable small amp in the future new or used , I might be able to come up with something for you if need be.

Did you ever end up doing anything with this amp?
Like adding in the delay?

Its a class c amp so I'm not sure if you would want to use something like that on ssb since you are a serious ssb'er. You might end up adding in a delay and a bias circuit to get that amp sounding a little better.

Just curious if you did anything with this amp yet, what you did with it, and how its sounding.

Take care

amp

Actually I never did anything with it, I in fact picked it up today from a friend, and he has used it on ssb, said it worked fine, it probably isn't the best sounding, but it is shall we say a standby amp anyhow.
Thanks for asking
