**  Probably c. 1.5kW PEP out  with 200w drive.  However, if more drive 
is available, c. 2800w PEP should be possible (8kV at 600mA in x 60% 
eff., tuning pulser tuneup).  
-- The most VHF-stable design for a 450TH in g-g is to submount the 
socket in order to move the grid lead close to the chassis. 
- I have a socket if u need one. 
--   If I were building such an amplifier, I would use one  fan above the 
chassis and one fan below the chassis to cool the envelope.  Also, with a 
tube this old, an initial gas check with a high-potential tester might be 
a good idea.
