Hi Tom,

I would be very interested in this idea as well. I thought of using one 
of the Russian low power triodes (GI-7B) to drive a higher power triode 
(GS-35B) in a 6m amp.

I am in a similar situation to yourself. I use the Elecraft XV50 
transverter which produces about 20-25 watts out. The GI-7B's are quite 
inexpensive and should go in the same cabinet without too much trouble.

Still in the planning stages, so will watch the thread to see if it 
develops.

Regards,


Ken.
