if i remember it right, daniel meyer published in 'popular electronics' an article entitled "tigers that roar"' sometime late 60's or early 70's, then came tigersausrus, although i have know about them it took me years before i can finaly build one of them tigersaurus amps, i built around 20 of them....compared to leach, the amps were difficult when it came to offsets and was not as stable as leach amps, sound is also not so good in the mids and highs, although bass had a lot of punch...i still have plenty of boards but can not get the 40410/40409 drivers transistors...

I built 15 Tigersaurus' about 30 years ago and I still have them and they still work. I just did a quick google search for 40409 and 40410 and it looks like this place sells them for ~ $4 each:
