Ah, a real amp related question!  Just recovering from an almost 72 hr
work week so sorry for any duplication.

That was a tetrode first of all.

Used as the PA in US Navy TBK/TBL and probably others. Got knocked on my
ass by the HV from a TBK Motor Generator set aboard ship.


Fil 11V @ 10A

Maximum ratings:
Ep 3500V
Ip 750ma
Es 750V
Ps  35 Watts
Eg -1000V
Ig 75ma
Full ratings to 20 MHz.
Dissipation 400W, no forced air.

An in demand bottle by military gear collectors. Could make a great Class
C CW key click generator!
In the TBK it was driven by a 860 IPA and a 860 VFO.
