[Amps] AL-811H

[Charles Mills]

I use a set of JAN 811 tubes that I picked up from Surplussales.

Also a ham friend of mine used his Greenlee punches to cut a whole in the
side for a fan to blow across the tubes and keep them cooler and aid in
ventilation with another 4"x4" hole on top (screened of course).
