[HomeBrew] 6L6 coil power/heat limitations?

[johnmars@mindspring.com]

Ocean State Electronics has 4, 5, and 6 pin phenolic coil forms.  I 
haven't used them, but the phenolic might be more resistant to 
soldering temperature meltdown.  See their catalog page at 
http://www.oselectronics.com/ose_p85.htm.
