[Amps] 813 Amplifier Article

[Fuqua, Bill L]

You know, I can't tell if an 814 is half a 813 or twice a 807. But they are neat looking tubes. I have a few of those as well.

I notice 4E27A's being ignored on Fleabay and at hamfests. My only
experience with them was a couple of 6M AM rigs I built to get some activity
on the band. They sure did glow nice.

The H&K 257B is a 4E27 clone.

If you dont want bands above 20M a couple of 803's can really make some
power and will take the same socket as the various Eimac 4- and 5- triodes
and tetrodes.

The 814/VT-154 is a scaled down 813 and generally ignored but 3-4 will be
heard.
