By the way Don, I know you have a BC-1T.  I am thinking (without doing any
math yet) about installing 450TL's in place of the 833's.  I have a 60 amp
7.5v filament (220v primary) xfmr Bill Decker sent me years ago, and I have
4 good 450tl's.  I have not even looked and compared the difference of
833's vs 450TL's as far as a match to the mod xfmr, and not even sure yet
the driver stage will be sufficient for the finals.  Of course I would want
to keep it where I could switch back if I had to.  833's are probably a lot
easier to find than 450TL's these days.  These 833's I've got for the Gates
are made in China.  Brand new, but have no idea what to expect.
