Not to worry Jeff. I pretty much ignored the reply you refer to below.
Grounded grid never even entered my mind with respect to this tube. It was
Rich that chose to reply in a one-sided manner regarding g-g, despite being
fully aware of the other driving/operating configurations for tubes like
this. Pay close attention to this trait of his.
I'm curious about this tube since being given 2 of them this past weekend.
I'm a bit of a nostalgia buff (antique radios - oscilloscopes - test
equipment and anything else with valves). I've already received a couple
of offers for assistance with information for 833A amps and I intend to
follow them up. Maybe there'll be some pics of a newly minted 833A amp on
the Amp Pix page in the not too distant future - who knows.
