Hi Ed,
         810s have some interesting possibilities. 2500 V (ICAS Class-C
oscillator) 750 W max plate input power (175 W dissipation). Heater is
4.5Amp-at-10VDC. Requires no forced cooling. Voltage is a little low for some
VTTCs.
         As a super Audio Amplifier (class B) you can get 400-500W per tube, if
you want to build your own avalanche starter. :-)
