Heathkit got a deal on those 12BY7's. Back in the mid 1950's they use them as the audio driver tube for the modulator section in their 100 watt class AM transmitter the DX-100. P/P1625 (12v 807's) which will make about 120w class ab2. It's transformer coupled and is grid biased from the hv power supply. You'll note that there are two 1/10 of an ohm resistors in the cathode circuit of the 1625's. These are not for biasing but are meter shunts.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
