A nice find ! Make sure you find the grid and anode dissipator caps before doing anything ! I've done an amp with 834 which is the same as 4304 but has a large chunk of graphite as an anode . This ran in zero bias (grid at 0V) . Running at 65mA with James 6123HS on the 5k tap driven by a choke-loaded cathode follower driver , a good few watts is achievable . In this configuration a low impedence driver with plenty of current on tap is required . Never used these in A2 but would expect damping factor may be an issue as inevitably your Rload will be lower than your Ra . If you are lucky enough to afford them , Dave Slagle can provide a 15K SE OPTX with offset cancellation winding . Then you can run these in A1

Is that a 6080 you've got running as a cathode follower there?
That's what I was thinking of doing myself.

The cathode follower is a 7236

Opps , not a 7236 , a 6BX7 is in the picture although I did use 7236 later on

Hi, I am interested in this tube. Does anyone have a pair for sale?
What tube are you guys using to drive an amp with the 4304

Anyone else having trouble seeing some of the pics in this thread? For instance the pics in Steve's 1st & 3rd posts?
The rest of the forum all seems ok...
Maybe I need to flush a cache or something....

They were probably hosted on an ancient mac. Com server that is no longer there

Interesting thread, plus I think my Dad would have worked with these during his national service, so a bit of nostalgia value

I've got 4 of VT104 10E/215 (PT15) New Old Stock valves in war department boxes.
PT15 push pull anyone ?
