Cool transmitter!

Those transmitters sure loved their transformer iron.

Where would you find TZ-40s, all the other tubes are common. I like the parallel push pull modulator!

You could cut the transformer count in half with solid state rectifiers.

811's will work in place of the TZ-40's.

Thats with the original 811's. 811A's would also work but would be seriously loafing at 200W.

Make a few changes and use 572B's for a bit more punch, use 811A's for mods.
I guess that mag didnt get on the 813 wagon yet.

Turns out that there are currently 4 TZ-40 tubes available (cheap) in two different auctions.

The Z means zero bias up to 1000V but the 7.5V filament is a PITA. They also take more drive than the 811.

Might make good replacements for 807/6146 mods in some rigs if there is room for a fil xfmr and enough drive can be cobbled up.
