[BC] How would you build it?

Don:
Sounds like a tube compliment from the ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook circa 1935.  I especially appreciate the link-coupling suggestion.  What about the neutralizing wire adjacent to the tube envelopes?

Re: 833s -- The Chicoms are very good imitators.  Wonder if there is a domestic requirement for them for those bottles?

However!  The 4CS250Bs made in China really stink. Their service life is weeks. 

I understand Romania or Bavaria (one of those -ia countries) makes a credible 807. That's advanced technology over there. They're skipping solid-state entirely and going directly to thermionic emission amplification devices that glow in the dark.  Reduces their heating and lighting bills in their transmitter shacks.

>BTW, you can still get new 833As, made in China (just like everything else). Reportedly, Chinese tube manufacturers have about made it through the learning curve and greatly improved QC; some of the Chinese tubes made now are said to be pretty good.
