[Amps] Multi tube amp

[Roger (K8RI)]

Just feed them on the grids  through a pad. The glass versions (large 
version) will easily run 45 - 50 watts out with convection cooling.  I 
ran a pair that would do 90 - 100 watts our on HF CW all day without 
breaking a sweat. How much more the elements would take with the metal 
jacket in water? I don't know.  IMD?

Paralleling 6L6s might not be economically viable nowadays as those 
suckers have become expensive.  I have a Fender, super twin Reverb that 
uses six, 6L6s.  It was cheaper to buy a new comparable SS amp than 
retube the Fender. I've forgotten how much music power it ran, but 
popping a low E string while standing in front of the amp would snap 
your pant legs against your legs. Monitored with headphones for hearing 
protection with that amp.
