Hello, I tried to post an answer  to your audio question earlier, but the
moderator threw it out, I will try again.

I deal a lot with audio, use the 833's in transmitters for power, and
modulation as well. AM Broadcasting. Unfortunately, I have no schematics for
any of them anymore. I suggest you may try one of the following links:

www.legendaudio-dot-com/tri200se.htm
www.tmhaudio-dot-com/importer.htm
www.enjoythemusic-dot-com/patubeshow.htm
You may also like to write the fine folks at
www.triodeelectronics-dot-com
 I think they stock every tube left in the world, and also have some
diagrams available.
I think you will find some help here. I do intend in the not to distant
future to build an audio amplifier using an 833, I thought for one thing, it
would be a nice tie if  one were playing music through it, while burning the
TC. Please contact me if I can help further, I may be able to dig up in time
some specs and schematics on 833 audio sections of transmitters.
