Globe Commander Amp?

[Robb]

Local operator has this in his garage.
He plans to sell it at the local hamfest next weekend.
Anyone know what tubes are in it, how much power, and how much it can fetch?

Are you sure that's an amp and not an old AM transmitter? It has "Globe Champion" on it and not "Globe Commander". Globe Champion was a line of boat anchor AM transmitters made by the World Radio Labs. co They made the Globe King line as well. That looks like it may be an RF deck with a modulator deck on top. If it is a Globe Champion 300 then it would have AX9909 tubes in the RF deck which are very rare and obscure and they would be modulated by a pair of 809's. The Globe King 500 had a 4-400 in the RF and was modulated by a pair of 811A's. It looks like a transmitter set to me.

Right - "Globe Champion".
Didn't notice the two decks in the pic.
Thanks for the info.
