A few years before a man (a guru of tube amplifier) wrote an artical about 300B and FU-50. In the artical he mentioned that the curve of FU-50 is very close to 300B when working in troid mode. THat's why it's called little 300B, very interesting.

The FU50 (which is the chinese version of GU50) looks nothing like the 300B, but still it is interesting. So you understand that a link to that article is in order. Also, there is no way that you are getting 12 Watts from a FU50 , in triode connection with 310Volts. Look at the curves! 12 watts from a GU50 is with 550Volts, pentode mode. I am working on such an amplifier.
 
Hi Costis

The aritcal is published on a magazine. I'll try to find it. But I don't think you can read it in Chinese.

Thanks for figuring out the max power problem. I also realized that the 12W is impossible. I'm quite new to tube. Actually I knew little about tube before involved in this business. the 12W is just copied from the supplier's words. The supply voltage is about 340V, the max power should be around 8W according to my calculate, am I correct?
