There are few measurements.  The theory that allows it to happen is the 
main thing.  As I recall, during the Grate Debate, Mr. Rauch disclosed 
that there was a series-resonance in the AL-80 Tune-C,  I noticed that 
this resonance was just above the AL-80's anode-resonance.  I simply put 
two and two together. 
  To demonstrate how a hidden L network could substantially transform 
voltage in an amplifier, I designed an L network that would step up 120v, 
60Hz to over 11,000Vrms.  As I recall, I parked the series resonance at 
61Hz.  The calculated circulating current was around 100a.  The Rauchian 
camp was not eager to discuss this circuit.
