Yes, I kept it in warm storage for Derb when I was in Baltimore. Those 812Hs are nice tubes. I loaded Derb's rig up to 500 watts out and the plates only had a slight glow.
I think the 805s are sleepers. I haven't ever heard that many in use over the years. They are almost as stout as 810s and will easily modulate a 500 watt rig and probably a whole lot more.
Derb's was open relay rack with black crinkle panels. It ran a pair of 812Hs in the final and two 805s in the modulator.
Derb's old HB transmitter ended up in Ohio or PA I think. But it didn't run 810s as I recall.
That's a nice looking rig.
Steve,
I remember Derb's rig quite well. Didn't you have it on the air from Baltimore for a period of time. I wonder who ended up with it? It was sure a nice Old Buzzardly rig. It sounded quite good on the air.
I have a Millen rig that uses a pair of 812H's in the final, push pull style. 805's would make a nice modulator for it. I will have to see if I have any. If not a pair of 811A,s would work out well.
