I'll take a very wild stab at it. From the RCA TT-4 handbook, the 833's at
3000VDC require 400V peak G-G volts, that is 242 V RMS. The drive is 20W.
That makes the current 82 mA. That makes the impedance 2950 ohms G-G.
If you have an old output transformer such as a 6K CT to 0-4-8-16 ohm type,
and were to connect the transformer's 16 ohm winding to the 8 ohm winding
on the power amp, then the secondary would look like 3000 ohms, close
enough.
You could also do a chinsel-cheeze method and use a dual-primary power
transformer (120V each primary) set up for 240VCT, and with a secondary
voltage of 12VAC. Use one with at least 5 amps rating on the 12v winding.
Hook the 12VAC winding to the power amp's 8 ohm output. The series'd two
120V windings of the power transformer (240VCT) now looks like 3200 ohms,
close enough. You might be surprised how good a power transformer can sound
when operated far below its ratings.
I think it would be a terrible mistake to mutilate a high quality
transmitter by going from a design as superbly engineered as the BC-1F, and
converting it to something as jury-rigged as using a power transformer for a
driver transformer, or one output transformer feeding a second reverse
connected output transformer to feed the grids.
