I like your 814 choice, its an often overlooked sleeper that is very cheap, 
even NOS. The early and late HT-9's here use one in the final and it loafs 
at 120W out.

A pre 1930 rig is in process to go with the D-76 serial HRO; 227, parallel 
227's,  210, 860. Its been debugged to the 210 and Ive made a few contacts. 
This replaces the 80M only PP 211 "yooper" that made it to DXCC last year 
after 2 1/2 years of rather intermittent trying.
