KR T-1610: What can I do with it?

[ohaimark]

I just made an account here because I scored a KR-1610 tube (approx. US $1250) for free. I don't know if it works, though.

Do you have any recommendations for testing it? Could I have some help designing an amplifier that uses it?

I'd like to have a two-channel amplifier but, as it is a single triode tube, I don't think that's possible.

Basically it's 2 KT 300BXLS in parallel so with 1 tube you can make a use of a 300B PSE circuit and make a center amp. Power >20W is achievable, just make sure your OPT can handle up to 200mA quiescent current.
Btw, I'm building a PP amp from this tube too, here:
