THE OLD DAYS and DOC KD4E

[Glen Zook]

Don't you mean the other way around?

A pair of 811 tubes can take a whole lot more power
than an 829B.  The plates in an 829B would melt long
before those in the 811s.

One day, they wired up a pair of 1625 tubes to see how
much power they could get out as an amplifier. They
hooked up enough voltage to see if they could get a KW
out.   The plates went RED HOT glowing ...  and
promptly melted. It was kind of like putting a pair of
811 tubes in a circuit designed for 829B tubes.
