KR Audio T-1610 outputs 50 Watts as used in the Kronzilla SXI-S.
A gremlin took out the filament supply in shipping so we didn't get to hear it but a pair of Dehavilland 845's sounded pretty great.

Was that tube originally designed as a tramsmitter tube?

Don't know anything more than yes, it's a transmitter. Steve thinks it would make for a great DIY Microwave. Alfred feels Canandians are much safer with 1610's powering the Distant Early Warning System

When Cary first built the 1610 amplifier they used the WE 308B. They were having trouble getting those WE tubes (only used in the Beach Master amplifier in WW2) so KR made this copy and called it the KR 1610.

I sold a pair of WE 308B's to Koji at EIFL a year ago. The tube is not that different than the WE 212.

Oh my goodness, that is an understatement. I didn't even know that they came that big like that. That is crazy. Made or bought?
