Are you sure Glen?  An SB 200 uses a pair of 829B tubes.  I've been told you 
can't put a pair of 811 tubes in there because the power supply is too much 
for 811s.   On the other hand, a Collins 30L1 uses four 811 tubes and many 
hams have put in two 829B tubes in place of the four 811s and they report 
the 30L1 purrs like a kitten, hardly knowing the 829B tubes are there.. and 
they last practically forever.

  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.
