Hi GL:
Welcome to the states. You'll have to shoot me a phone number once your settled in a bit.
re: the beesevens. Done. On shelf with your name just waiting for a shipping address.
re: XB12... is this the Ulyssess model (the adventure type)? I still get the hots for a buell. Torquey like you won't believe.
One ride I would like to make this summer is to the AMA Motorcycle vintage days... which is held at mid-america racetrack facility in Ohio. I think it is in July. Maybee we could meet there!!! And maybe we could get the good Dr. from Erie to join us on one of his ducks.
re: outputs for EL-84--- your in luck or good steed here... we have several really great designs for the EL-84 PP applications including the Acrosound TO-250 design.
Personally--- I'd stick with the classic audio pentodes/tetrodes like the EL-84, EL-34, KT-88, 6L6, 6V6, etc. If you stick with these tube types--- you have the advantage of both getting current production as well as wide range of vintage units. And I would throw in the 807 as another good candidate. Personally with these great opportunities I wouldn't bother with the "oddball" TV types, compactron equivalents, and etc.
I'd mabye look at using a pentode front end---perhaps as a LTP and maybe with the pentode UL connected from a plate choke sitting on top of the anode. this has been shown on this forum before in schematic form. If you tied the tails down pretty solidly--- you could probably use a ct AF choke with UL taps in it. The EF-86 and WE 310 come to mind as two of my early choices to look at.
Another tempting path---quite different than above--- would be to go with the compact PP circuit idea. As was just recently discussed in a post below.
cool that your coming to the states--- don't worry about getting bored--- I could keep you busy building different circuit ideas\variants for quite some time.
cheers,
