perhaps thats what it's capable of, but you're not going to run it there
are ya?
That's what the first high power homebrew rig I remember ever actually
seeing ran - an old fellow in Kentucky. He used a pair of 100TH's in the
final, modulated with a pair of triode connected 813's and a homebrew
modulation transformer. His audio sounded like a tin can, but did he strap!
His rig inspired me to build a single 304TL final moulated first by a pair
of 211's (@ 600w input) then later with triode/813's then 810's and later,
833-A's. My 866A's kept flashing over @ 3000 volts, using a pole pig, so I
settled for 2500v @ 400 ma. Besides that gave a better match to the
modulation transformer.
