Wasnt the SB-230 the allegedly mobile linear, or am I thinking of a
different one? Also, I seem to recall it from the era of the late 60's
and/or '70's, not the '80's.

Steve... My 1KW Heathkit SB230 from ...I guess the early '80s uses a heat
sink cooled tube.
A single 8873, it uses no fan...just a heat sink on the back and does an
easy 600 watts out.
Totally quiet!!
