well. there are several dozen examples of this in the mobile handbooksCQ magazine and QST,both of the CQ books and all five of the ARRL's. It was done to get lots of audio, very low resting current, ditto 1635, a special 6N7 with zero resting current gives 14 watts sine wave RMS, can be made to modulate 50 watts with reasonable tube life. Remember, speech is 20-25 percent of peak when viewed as average. That is why 3 kw Alphas only have 1kw CCS supplies!.On the 12AX7, my mobile used this for years and no tube ever failed. Lotsa good audio!..
