    811A x 811A. AM Rig suggestions

    Ok, thanks for the response. I really appreciate it. So the 4 uf would work in that setup I assume from your comments? And how might I lower the plate voltage? I was either going to stick with the 4 uf or have 4 270mfd caps setup like an ameritron 811h. The tubes I am using are...
