Ok, then i'm roughly in that sweet spot at 2400v.  If you have any pictures of 
the custom heatsinks you used i would like to see those.  I have seen a few 
other options on the net, including one that was a rather large aluminum 
heatsink with a fan mounted directly to it...  The best i can figure is that 
works because its a plastic housing on the fan, but that would be scary to have 
low voltage in such a close proximity to the anode voltage.

I have a tuned input, built it using the MFJ analyzer and some guidlines online 
showing what coil size and number of turns i needed, etc.  Its a 6M amp based 
off the YU1AW design and adapted slightly to the info others provided that made 
slight improvements.

Go here if you want to see pictures of it.

I'm thinking about building a 2M amp now using the same tube, but it won't 
likely be using a FL-2100B as a the donor amp for construction.  I had thought 
about squeezing two tubes into the FL-2100B chasis but then i would have needed 
a different power supply to handle the plate current needed.

Every little bit of info helps, it sure is becoming a fun journey to learn all 
this!
