Night light,
Now, there is an interesting use for all the 4-65A tubes I have.
Now, saying that, it seems, according to data sheets, that the 4-65A tube will
produce 375 Watts PEP as class AB2 SSB amplifier. Wonder how clean it is when
used that way?

Make sure you set the filament voltage to or just below spec with a good
VOM, preferably an RMS meter, or it won't give you the life you would like.

Shouldn’t be an issue. Just observe the 6.0VAC rating. Running it from a 6.3V
trans may not give you the internal transformer drop you need to be at 6.0V. If
need be put a very low value 0.1 ohm, 5 watts or more in series. But check the
actual voltage you get with your supply.

NO, itv should not for that length of time. They usually burn in the tubes
for longer than that. Rob K1DFT

Hello Everyone,
My son and I have a question regarding firing up the filament of a 4-65A tube
with no connection to the grid or plate (and no plate cap heat sink, either):
If we light up the filament and leave it glowing for a long time, is there any
danger to the tube? It would be akin to us
