running in pentode mode. Seller says the amp was re-wired to run the EL34s in triode mode. In pentode, the amp is rated at 10 wpc.
Any guesses om output in triode mode?

Follow Ups:
3.5-4 W. is (IMO) a reasonable guesstimate.

The amp is self biasing.

You may have seen this before. Apologies if telling you something you already know ...
Some good dope on your options at the link.
My Tektons are 8 ohms, 95 dB/w/m.

It will depend on which Tekton speakers you have.
I have a pair of Pendragons, and despite the high efficiency rating they require more power.
I have tried an Elekit TU-879s (SE tetrode I believe), and even with KT88s it is not nearly enough power for the Pendragons.
A SE 45/2A3 amp was even worse.
Smaller Tektons might be OK, but I would say it is trial and error.
The integrated I purchased can be wirerd ultra linear or triode. It's 10.5 wpc ultra linear and 4-5 wpc triode.

A couple of years ago I purchased an amp from Radu Tarta. It is a Single Ended EL34 that outputs about 5 Wpc. It's excellent - outstanding components, terrific construction and it looks great. I'm pairing it with Radu's DHT "Shiny Eyes" preamp but I bet that Radu would be happy to make one for you as an integrated unit. Here's a picture of the unit.

6SN7 driver and EL34 running triode? Should sound very sweet. Report back when you've had some stick-time with it.
I assume your 6F8Gs with the adapters would be good too.
Today I removed the Chinese EL34s and 6SN7s. I installed a new matched pair of Tung-Sol EL34Bs and a matched pair of JJ 6SN7s. The flabby bass tightened up considerably, midrange detail kicked up a notch and the absent treble sparkle and sheen returned. The SET amp is strong enough to power my 95 dB Tektons to reasonable SPLs, so I'm now a happy camper.
