250TH would be my first choice...except that I already have two homebrew rigs that use that tube in the final--one single-ended and one push-pull. I'd prefer a little variety, so something I'm not already running would be nice, though maybe not possible. I do like the looks of the bottle-style tu

The 250TH looks very much like an 806, and as I recall, the filament voltage is the same. It would be easy enough to fabricate pin adaptors if you can't find some commercially made ones. Eimac made two versions of the 100T, 250T and 450T series, some of which had smaller (807 size) caps and

Yes, I will check the fil voltage as soon as I have time. There is no bias supply. But both decks have large tapped resistors on them that were probably used for bias and perhaps other voltages. You're right about the 806--that would be a possibility--I hope not though because I don't have any. 73
