..HI FROM TIM...QUESTION:...HAS ANYONE GIVEN THOUGHT TO MAKING THE VIKER A 3 HOLER?...3 6146s, IN PLACE OF 2....WHAT ABOUT A SINGLE 813, IN PLACE OF THE 6146s?...I WOULD ASSUME THE POWER SUPPLY IS AN ISSUE, BUT I'D LIKE YOUR INPUT ON THIS....

Power supply and modulator. 2 807's won't be enough to drive an 813 I don't think.. Perhaps 2x811's maybe, or 2 x 811's driving an 813 but then again might as well redesign the whole rig.

811s will not fit in the 807 sockets but will fit in the rectifier sockets because they are further apart. I want to try an 813 in my PDM v2 because I seem to take out 6146s every 5 years or so while the 6DQ5s in the modulator are good as new since '83. I might have to replace the driver with a bigger tube like a 5763 to get the monkey swing on the grid.
Dean WA1KNX has done a lot of work making 100 watt rigs take 813s

Earth to Dean.....
