>From what I've read, apparently 2 tubes connected in "parallel"
can both still operate as Class A.  

Thanks to all those who responded.  I'll be jamming with it tonight.

Single ended, or one power tube, would be class A. You can also have Class A 
amps with two power tubes, our Sonny Jr one and two were both class A. Class A 
just means both power tubes are on simaltaneously all the time, class A/B 
means they oscillate on and off with each other at extremely high speed. That is 
the simplest way I think it can be put. If guys want to get into the cathode 
versus fixed bias, that's another topic.
