I need to know what kind of power this puts out, if it a cb radio, or a HAM radio. It is 23 channel.Looks like it has an amp, and I think it's a tube radio. Any, and all information is appreciated. Here are some PICS

It's a 23 channel CB radio made by HeathKit. I would assume it's a standard 4 - 5 watt radio unless it's been modified. What amplifier, I don't see one.

It has 23 channels if they were installed since that radio used 2 crystals for each channel one for receive and one for transmit instead of a crystal mixing circuit.
A 23 channel bank of crystals was an optional accessory for that radio.
It uses transistors not tubes.
What you think is an amp under the radio is the matching power supply also optional accessory.
