- Hi All, I have some old tubes (Eimac 250TH's, 250T, CWL-803, CWL-861, etc) that I have accumulated over the years from various estates that I have helped to liquidate. I will probably never use them

- Pulsed measurements. BTW, if you do the math -> 4000 volts x 400mA = 1600 watts input power. At 70% efficiency, that's ~500 watts plate dissipation, so there's some consistency between the numbers. I
