Indeed I do. A wonderful tube, but not for RF. It was originally
designed as a resistance-coupled amplifier for video output circuits
in the early black and white TV sets. It's gain in such a circuit was
among the highest ever achieved in a consumer type tube at that power
level. No doubt that helped make it squirrely when resonant circuits
were involved. :-)
