edit : there use to be explanation of circuit. cant fint it ???
edit  : without the negative feedback.

It is probably around 40dB.

thanks Ian,
are u including input TRX gain or this is just the tube gain  itself...

wow, ( IMHO  :) )

thanks Ian.

It's a typical value for a pentode stage. Gain is basically gm * RL where gm is the tube's mutual conductance at the operating point and RL is the plate load. gm is typically 1mA/V and you have a 100K plate resistor hence the gain is 100 times of 40dB give or take.

Cheers
