6P36S / 6П36С beam tetrode in triode mode

My friend Vyacheslav sent me for testing an 6P36S / 6П36С output beam tetrode which was used for TV horizontal deflection circuits in the old days.  Here are the nice curves in triode mode:

6P36S triode SMALLLow anode resistance and high current capability with its 12W of anode dissipation make this cheap indirectly heated tetrode an interesting candidate for an amplifier. Let’s have a look at the triode model:

Happy to complete the triode SPICE model if someone can translate the Russian datasheet and provide me with the electrode capacitances.

Well, how will this triode perform in a simple SE configuration? With a low Ra, a 5K anode impedance OT will work well:

6P36S SE 5K A1 2WWith just 55Vpp we can drive this valve to produce 2W @ THD=1.6% (without considering the driver distortion cancellation). The valve can be biased nicely at 55mA and 220V.
