This may be homemade. It had a bad solder joint at the collector on one transistor. Working good now. Traded for this years ago for a Prez Jackson I had nothing in, got it DOA as a throw in.
Not sure why my uploads are upside down...
Well, they are upside down on my tablet, but not my PC computer...

Any idea what BTL means on the switch? I'm looking into adding bias next. A good regulated circuit. I've used it on SSB and got good reports but I don't know how well it sounds myself. Definitely needs a cap on the relay.

Haven't got around to the bias circuit yet, getting other projects done first. I did try it out on side band and got good reports.
