Mark,

The VT4C is a Army designation for the 211 tube. Google it and you get 
several hits

He thinks it puts out about 500 watts. I've never heard of this tube before. Is it worth getting anything this big for 500 watts? Can anything be substituted in place of these tubes? Its running 866's for rectification. I haven't seen it yet but may drive an hour to go take a look. Thanks for any feedback you guys might have on this tube. Appreciate it..
