I'm in the mood to build an 813 rig.

OK. Keep us abreast of your trials and tribulations.

Forgive my ignorance but I don't know what an 813 rig is.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
AM transmitter (or sometimes an amplifier) running 813 tubes as finals. Sometimes modulated by 813's as well (in which case it's called an 813 x 813). Classic homebrew rig in the heavy iron AM world.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO

Okay, kewl, thanks. What kind of power can you expect to get out of one?

Depends on how many 813s you use. A pair with ~2200v on the plates will realistically give you 500w PEP at the lower HF ranges.
John, I -may- have a few bits and pieces left over from my 813 amplifier constructing days...and there might be an assorted ART13 component or three floating around the junk box as well. Anything you want is yours for the cost of shipping.

813's? Step up from 811's. Go with 807's?
Just be careful!

John, too bad you were not in this mood last Summer. I had the tubes, RF deck, switches, caps, transformers, fans and inductors.

If you change your mind and go with 811's, you can use a clay "chimney", but glass is still better. But how do you fire-up an 813?

I have enough junk around here to fix and keep me busy for a long while. I seem to have the Valiant fixed and I'm waiting on some caps. I just started tearing into the Globe King 500. An 813 rig won't even begin till next fall or winter, assuming all goes well.
