Hi Guys,

I lucked up on an 833A triode (for free!).  I have no experience
with the big tube.  Is it OK to mount it horizontally?  I plan to
run mine pretty hot using a 1KVA MOT for +B.  I'm thinking about
removing the old magnetron filament winding & rewinding it for the
filament supply.  This would certainly make for a cheap, compact
power supply.  The same dead oven that provided the transformer also
yielded a nice, open-frame 5" blower--suitable for cooling the tube? 
Any advice on care & feeding of the 833A would be much appreciated.
