Does anyone have any 4-65's? I think that'd be a neat little ~100w rig to build up.. a single 4-65 tetrode, modulated by a pair.
Sounds like a neat combination. You oughta be able to get about 150W carrier out of one, run less conservatively (not that anyone will hear the difference, of course). Someday I am going to build a rig with a pair of 'em modulated by 811s, when I get a round tuit. Already have the HV PS/modulator deck built, just have to do up the RF deck, which will also contain the VFO (a T-195 PTO I've been saving for this project), and RF and AF driver circuits. I hope to run the pair at 500W input (2500V @ 200 mA), or close to it, depending on the plate efficiency I'm able to achieve. -SNIP-
6.3v @ 3.5a? Got those transformers, too.

Actually, they want 6.0V, so drop the voltage to the primary or run resistors in the primary or secondary circuits of the fil xfmr. One trick is to use appropriate lengths of undersized wire to the filaments (whatever length is necessary to drop the filament voltage at the socket to 6.0 V).
