Triode conversion for VTL Renaissance 80 monos

Can anyone tell me what would be involved in converting my VTL Renaissance 80 monoblocks to triode operation? Opening one up, I can find and identify the power tube socket pins, and I think the wiring to them would need to be changed--but I don't know what the change(s) would be. If anyone could tell me where to find a schematic for these amps, that too would be very welcome, and I'd be most grateful.

hi tom:

i own a pair of vtl deluxe 120s. they use 807 output tubes. they operate in terode and triode mode. i am surprised at the attitude you experienced. i bet a qualified technician could determine the feasibility of conversion.

if it were possible, you would probably lose more than 40 watts of power.
