Thanks for all the advice. I think I will have to use solid plate tubes. I ran through all the calcs and at a lower bias the output power is lower and the distortion is higher. It appears that the kit one is biased perfectly for optimal performance of a classic 300B tube. I have attached the operating point for the standard 82mA bias using two parallel 1.8K resistors. When compared to a 60ma bias, the output power drops from 8.12W to 6.68W and the max distortion increases from 8.7% to 9.3%. I will have to see what I can do with the mesh plate 300B's, as it appears that I will not be able to use them. Thanks again for your help.
