Planning on hooking up an old 811 to my new k3 100. Appreciate any
tuning tips.

I use my K3 with an Al-811 and it works just fine.  I had the amp before the K3 so I already had my settings for load and plate recorded.  Just use the settings in the 811 manual as a starting point and tune to what works best for you then record those settings.  I have replaced the original tubes with Chinese 572B tubes.  No more power but they are a more rugged tube so I just tune for max power out.  With the 811s you will want to limit tune time but once there they should be fine.
