I'm guessing it's a hazy memory. Drake made no 6m amps I've ever seen, but
Swan made two of them: The MK-VI and the MK-VIB. The former had an internal
power supply, the latter was two units, with the power supply in a separate
box. They both used 3-400Z/3-500Z tubes (depending on the age).
Raytrack also made a dual-tube amp like this called the "Horizon-6" if I recall
correctly. Never seen many of those, but the Swans were pretty popular.

That could be right, after all it was over 45 years ago I had it.
It sure did look like a Drake.
