The largest available on this side of the pond is 2W Peter.

I have tried a few of those and due to age or whatever they destruct very
fast compared to the more modern Allen Bradley style. Possibly the carbon
gets moisture contamination over 30-40 years...dont know. I do use some
of those in high values for 6M antenna choke forms....similar to the
Ohmite Z-50, etc. I believe they were originally rated at 2W.

Funny, but most of the military amps with vacuum variables are horizontal
mount. With a mounting flange on both ends I fail to see any reason for
vertical mounting or other mechanical complications. In fact a vertically
stacked Tune and Load may take up less precious real estate than a pair
vertically mounted.
Even some of the ancient vacuums had the far end set up to mount in an
oversize fuse clip.
Perhaps someone can refer to the actual Jennings ( only one of many
manufacturers) quote and/or catalog year and page.
Now...I'm talking about small 10-15KV vacuums....not some monsters as
used at the BBC, etc.
