Hi everyone, I just picked up a Kris power pump. It is currently providing about 100 AM carrier and 200 PEP. The driver tube is a single 6JG6A driving 2 X 6LQ6. I would like to purchase a backup set of tubes for this rig before they become totally unavailable. But before I replace them I have a couple questions, as I know about as much about vacuum tubes as I do brain surgery, so please pardon my ignorance
My goal is to find other tubes that I can put in it without modifying the circuit and to keep the amp original.
I am not trying to get more output power (but that would be ok) But I am hoping to find a driver tube that will allow slightly more input (high drive if you will) without putting a swamping resistor/capacitor on the input.
Also, I would like to buy tubes that are durable, I read somewhere that the 6KV6A might be a good choice.
The amp is designed to be driven with between 1-3 watts input, that I can do. But, this is going to be used on 10 meters only (seriously) and I would like to be able to drive it harder.
But I am open to any and all comments/info/mods on this amp. Its's a playtoy and its expendable.
Thank you!
