As used in the Elecraft KPA-1500 (two of them, which gives a great deal of overhead).

And I do have CK-722's.  They came in a small plastic case I purchased at the Radio Shack in 100 Oaks Mall in Nashville, TN back in the early 70's.  There were a small quantity of Silicon NPN and PNP and Germanium NPN and PNP transistors.

I bought it to complete my first attempted homebrew receiver project which was a regnerative receiver for 40M.  Never did get that thing to work, and I progressed from there to building a Heathkit HW-101 using my saved-up lawn-mowning money.

My Novice station was a used Hallicrafters SX-99U with outboard Heathkit Q-Multiplier, and a borrowed Knightkit T-60.

Hey, do you think we'll get a surface-mount 4CX1500?

Jim, I have a single GE-2 that I'll trade you for a good 4CX1500.  Might get a watt out of it in pulse service. I did have an AM amp using pulse rated 4-1000A's a couple decades ago.  One RF amp, the other cathode modulated the top tube.  Modulation transformers were much more expensive than the tubes.

I digress.  I never owned a CK-722 but thought they looked neat.
