• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

I built a Class A tube amp!

Despite the differences in ratings, modern 5881 should take anything a 6L6_ will take.

However I see 22W plate dissipation, assuming 400V raw supply, 20V on Rk, 14V on plate dropper, 10V in OT DCR, and 5% screen current.
