Bob,

On my 80-B I have the following:

HV same readings

Grid 110
Plate 400

50 in 700 w out on 80-B wattmeter
50 in 500 w out with external wattmeter

1.3:1 Input SWR on 14.025

ALC Set 11

With 70 watts input, I get 800w out on the inboard meter and 650w out with
the external wattmeter.

Grid 150
Plate 450

ALC Set 15

I don't know how old the final tube is.  I bought the amp online and it had
gone through two previous owners.
