###  Point well taken Leigh.   The part I don’t get is.... when you
folks did have a 400w limit  ( and some countries still do, like I think
south africa)...why would anybody want to mess with a 400W amp in the
1st place ? 

##  I just can’t see myself building a 400 w anp.... when my  FT-1000D
does an easy 200++ watts out to begin with. 

##  Ok,  lets say the typ poor ham has his 100w xcvr.. ( and 2 SUV’s parked outside),
and then uses his TL-922  to get his  400w out.  You may as well unplug one of the tubes
in that case, and use it as a spare.... but alas, you can’t even do that, since they wired the
fils in series.   You could on an SB-220.
