How many watts is the PL519 running?, I have some 807s I was thinking of
using, but they like 750 volts on the anode.
The PL509/519 is very rugged and will give far more power than an 807 at relatively low HT voltages. I run my PL519 at around 80watts output although it is capable of a bit more without exceeding the anode dissipation. The only downside is that the PL509/519 requires 40v for the heaters but I had a suitable transformer in one of my many junk boxes.

In 1998 LX1PD used a transmitter on 136kHz that used 16 PL36s in parallel. The PL36 was also a TV line TB valve.
