An Orion replacement, eh? What features does John want to replace?

Note that with the (re)acquisition of the Commander amps from Palstar, it
was noted that new products may be "private labeled" for another amateur
radio manufacturer.
Kenwood, Alinco, Ten-Tec and Elecraft are about the only manufacturers
without "flagship" amps (not downplaying the new Elecraft, but power-wise some
will want "more).
Would it be out of line for Ten-Tec to partner with AN Wireless on a new
amp? It's unlikely to be solid-state or auto-tune, sadly. I'd be happy
seeing a version of the Centurion that came with 3-500ZGs and could put 3800
to
4000VDC, key-up, on the plates through a full-wave bridge, and had adequate
cooling, bandswitches, etc for legal limit.
Call it the Legate or Consul, with the Pro-Consul having three tubes.
As for John's comment, some months ago John Henry let slide that an Orion
replacement is schedule before some other projects--I think he was being
asked about amplifiers. I've already submitted a couple of names for
consideration.
