Hello Carl,

It only has a 500W anode dissipation altho without forced air cooling.
Sockets arent that common and look poorly made?
Very similar to the QB5/1750 which conveniently fits a 4-1000A socket and
are often available in the US as a few BCB transmitters used them.
The GU-81M is also similar, and sockets seem to be more available but
expensive.
They all make excellent AM modulators (-;

Thank you for very useful notes. GU46 were rare used here because of
we good choice of another cheap tubes. I know a few designs with
1-2pcs of GU46, 1 tube is able run 500-1000W, but better 500W for its long
life. It is not a big problem to find these tubes here, but sockets is
not easy to find. Local people try to make these sockets, they are not
masterpiece of course, but they work.
GU81m can be used of course, it is cheap, its socket is not a problem
(my socket cost $35ea,I think it is not expensive). Sometimes it is
used without original electrodes,this make it much compact. You can
watch plenty of pictures GU81m with sockets and without electrodes if
you google GU81m and then open the first topic.
