Freed Eisemann Model PS-1(?!) -- schematic

I have a weird pair of amplifiers (?) visiting my house. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into... but I don't!

I was thinking PP 6L6, and someone had (apparently) added an RCA jack input and a pair of 5-way binding posts for output. They come to life just fine, but pass extremely little signal.

Then there's the tube complement. 2 5U4, 2 6L6 and one 6J5(?!).

I am not finding much.
One tantalizing thread and one old auction listing make it fairly evident that these used field coil drivers, which might explain the issue(?).

So, one 5U4 for HV and one for a FC supply, maybe?

And then there's that 6J5. One triode, and two 6L6s? I mean... that won't fly for a PP amplifier, and it's hard for me to conceive that this is a single-ended, parallel 6L6 amp!?!

It's not just a regulated P/S, is it?!?

Any of youse guyses know anything about this (these)?

Anybody got a schematic?

Man, I feel so dumb...
