I picked up a Dentron Clipperton L and the 10 meter part of band switch is burnt up. Is there a way I can make this amp only work on 10 meters and do away with band switch???? I do not need the other bands.

Ah, seems like a self-explanatory kind of modification. But only if you have already done it, I suppose.
Bypassing the band switch is a common "hot-rod" modification, especially among hot-rod types who like to disregard the, ah "red line" and burn the switch contacts that way.
I don't remember having pics on file showing this, but I'll have a look next time I'm at work. The 10-meter coil is probably shared with 15 meters. Bypassing the band switch usually takes a piece of #12 solid wire.
In the right place. I'll see if I can locate any visual guidance on file. Don't have a good enough picture in my head of that output circuit to get specific from memory alone.

Thank you nomadradio I am sure this amp was hot rodded for sure. I just know it will never be used on any other bands but 10-11
