Howdy,


When you get bored of big jugs with nipples on the top, you
might try a 6T9 compactron. It's very nice for a small transmitter.
You get a high mu triode and beam power pentode in one package.
I think the pentode is good for 12W.

I'd probably use a 1625 since they're cheap from Fair Radio
and sockets... we don't need no stinking sockets!

After years of avoiding morse code I am finally getting into it. the
ideal of operating a very simple transmitter appeals to my junkbox/
trashcan construction mentality.
I am looking for a substitue for a 6L6 that has the plate brought out
the top. I was trying to build a little Glowbug transmitter but was
having all kinds of problems neutralizing the the thing. I think I
would have better luck if I can separate the grid and plate circuits
from each other. I am considering an 807 as a replacement Suggestions
would be appreciated.
