Other uses for your 807's

Found these amusing, I really miss my Hammarlund HQ-170A:
YouTube - Meissner Signal Shifter Model EX Ham QRP VFO Transmitter Demo

YouTube - VX-101-JR Ham Radio 807 Tube QRP Transmitter Vintage

Bogen HO-125 high power amplifier
YouTube - Bogen HO-125 amplifier test, 1000 volts on 807's

I don't know how it came about, but "807" is also ham radio slang for a beer 🙂

One 807 is capable of being a 40W one tube TX with a crystal... hardly QRP 😉

Cheers!

8 ounce beer => 8oz == 807 😀

8 ounces of beer ain't enough to wet the glass.

Yeah, but just like the tube you have to have more than one 😀

After watching the you tube Bogan HO125 clip it leaves me with a question.

With 1000 volts on the plate of the 807's and the transformer (output) having been changed isn't the voltage (1000) over the limits of what the 1650 series Hammond output transformer is capable of using? After looking thru the specifications on the Hammond transformer I had expected to see a B+ figure but found nothing. 😱

I have a box full of 807's, personally I think it is my favorite tube even though I have not built anything using it, but I do plan on constructing a push-pull amplifier kind of like this one: 807 Tube Stereo Amplifier

I know nothing about the beer aspect, but I like it! 😀
