Good afternoon.  I'm new to the list.

I've had a T4XB and an R4B sitting on my workshop shelf for way too long and 
have decided to bring it back to life.  Don't have a lot of experience with 
Drake, but do have 40 plus years in the hobby and an electronics background, 
though I haven't done a lot of electronics work recently.

So - I'm starting with the T4XB.  It works, but power output is low.  Here's 
what I get (into dummy load, tuned for max power out, per manual):
Po = 70 W
Ip = 200 mA
Vp = 690 V
Bias = -55 V (70mA resting current)

Looks to me like I need new finals.  Am I missing anything?  Want to be 
certain.  Also, can someone recommend a reliable source for 6JB6's? 

Thanks & 73,
