Thanks for posting that!  Very interesting device.
Reading the specs, it's 40W continuous, 70W intermit.
At 200V that's 200 mils- more then enough to run
the receivers, which are a continuous load.

Not enough juju to run the transmitters.
If run CW only, I wouldn't push the intermit rating
past about 60W.   At 450V, that's about 130 mils.  
You'd need about 25 mils for the Osc, 
what- 20 for the screens?
That only leaves 85 mils for the plate current.  
For a Command Set TX, you need to source 
around 200 mils at 450V, 250 mils at 525V.

But they still look very useful to me.
Next pay check, I'll be ordering a couple.
Thanks again!
