Default Let's try a different route :)

Assuming I get my old Swan 500 working again. I still want to rig it to run on low power. Now an old ham told me that I could remove the High voltage to the finals, and ground the screens. He guessed I would get about 8 to 10 watts trickling through, and it wouldn't hurt the tubes. In this he said it could be put back at will without rewiring the radio.

Sounds great to me. Any thoughts?
