OUCH!

> You do realize you can purchase tested and guaranteed
> YC-156 pulls for about the same price as a pair of
> 3-500Z's? They produce a signal with very low 3rd order
> IM.  40 watts of drive with 3KV on the plate will give
> the legal limit out. Running at those ratings THAT tube
> would probably still be working for your great, great,
> great grand kids...if it didn't get gassy first. <:-))
> Also the YC-156 does not require a socket. The grid
> flange bolts directly to the chassis with filament 
> leads/cathode bolting directly to the tube rings.
> 
> Unfortunately there is one problem with the YC-156. Its
> size!  It's 9" tall and might require a tad reworking of
> the 220's cabinet. <LOL> That and maybe a heavier chassis
> as the tube weighs 9#. OTOH with it's size, at that power
> setting you could most likely cool it with the muffin fan
>  out of the 220.
