Hi Jack,
Have you tried removing drive to the PA and looked for output RF ?
Grid stoppers in place ?
Close, appropriate tight de-coupling to chassis (G2, A1 supply past
anode RFC) etc. ?
APC in the PA anode ?
Any chance of a photo to look at construction techniques ?
Regards,
Mark

I am building an exciter for my 8000 rig. 6AG7 VFO, 6CL6 buffer and 807
final.
I am plagued with the problem that resonance in the final does not agree
with peak power out.
The power peak (watt meter or light bulb) is a considerable twist south
of the plate current dip.
Looking at the output on a scope shows nothing strange about the wave
shape as the amplitude increases beyond the dip.
I have tried neutralizing with coupled links between the input and
output tanks but it makes no difference nor does anything else I have tried.
Any ideas would be welcome.
