I had one, great little amp. Was pretty screwed up when I bought it. Wired wrong, needed new cap, plate coil. After that, talked all over.

Input (radio) was on the right (looking at back of radio)
Output on the left.

I replaced the choke, a mica cap, increased the ssb delay a tad.

Nice clean 50 Watts.
