Appears that someone has at least considered it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwZO8wvPHao

I desire to use a pair of 860 tubes as modulator output tubes in a special
homebrew transmitter project.  I am aware that tetrodes are not the best
choice for use in a modulator and especially a lowly inefficient 860, but
that is the tube that is most physically fitting for this particular
project.  I am also aware that using the 860 will require an added screen
and bias supply and a substitution of a triode or its sister 852 triode
would be better choice but those are not options and the extra power
supplies are no problem.  I cannot find any information on anyone using a
pair of 860's in a modulator and obviously no manufacturer's published
operating specifications as an AB modulator.  Have any of you used PP 860's
in a modulator either as tetrodes or  triode connected tetrodes?  Any
thoughts and information on suggested operating perimeters would be helpful.


Thanks,

Bob, K2GLO
