Hello everyone,new to the forum and new to radio...only in it about 6 months.
Does anyone know anything about the 800 or where I can find information/manual on it?
Thanks

Not sure on the 800 . Is that a Hybred like the 500 ? Transistors & Tubes ? If so from what a read really touchy on the loading & DON'T like to be over driven . 73 & God Bless Leo Btw Welcome to the forum !

Could use any number of different tubes, they changed those with "Wind" direction(8975) 6GK6's...8908's...etc.. sub's etc.

Thanks for the information 357 and BJ...this one has 30KD6 driving (4) 31JS6C tubes. I think I'm going to pass on it being touchy on the loading and driving. I dont know enough yet to be working on it myself if something messes up. Again thanks.

It's a hot rod without a crash cage.

Calming one of these down so you can depend on it requires some modifications, none of them shown on line AFAIK.

May be a cool toy to play with, learning about amplifier design.

Not so good a prospect if what you want is a dependable daily driver.

Good choice.
