"I suggested to the original poster that he make it a swamped class AB1
amplifier. He will get plenty of drive with a 50-ohm swamping resistor.
The only tuning he needs is a small coil to balance out the input
capacity of the tubes."

This is the direction I'm taking. I'm amazed it's so much simpler than what
I've been trying so far.
