In general, sweep tube amps are built specifically to illegally use on the CB Service frequencies and are worth about $2.00 for junk spare parts.

Worse, these amps are so poorly designed and cheaply manufactured almost all cause interference and spurious emissions. The trash they put out is often blamed on legitimate hams since they don't hide antennas, etc.

Do us all a favor. Take a hammer to it. If you just gotta make money out it, take it and the hammer to a ham fest and charge a buck or two for hams to take a good whack at it.
