Push pull? Single ended? How much current is the primary rated to carry?

RH84 is good for doing a decent sounding amp with small OPTs.

Obviously you'll need to buy some GU50 tubes and sockets.
2 if you want a traditional SE, 4 if you want to get funky and make an SRPP/SEPP parafeed on. Yves has a good circuit you could base it on!

Those OPTs are not limited at all, you luck, lucky man!

Do you like circuit boards? You could try a Get Set Go.
