Ive done a few to a single 3CX800A7. Its an easy electrical swap but a PITA
for sheetmetal and mounting the tube horizontally and using the original
fan. It works well at 1100-1200W out with 50W drive. About the same as a
LK-750 or the single hole MFJ.
That DK9IP conversion looks real nice but I dont know how far the stock xfmr
and Mickey Mouse tank circuit can be pushed.
Im sure the Class C designed Ruskie tubes have their usual 11M IMD
performance.
