Mike,
Take a look at the projects by W4EMF <http://w4emf.gs35b.com> and K4POZ,
<http://k4poz.w4zt.com>.
Treat the GI-7B like any other old tube. It's a very stable little tube
that will give you 55 to 60% efficiency in Grounded Grid with tuned
input. I am currently doing a six meter conversion and retrofit of an
old butchered SB-200 with a single GI-7B.
Good luck with your project!
73, Tony W4ZT
