How is your 2A3 biased? If you are determined not to use a pot and your 2.5 vac winding has no CT then you need to make one using a pair of 50 to 100 ohm resistors. These need to be fairly closely matched and 3 to 5 watt ones should be sufficient. In turn this CT needs to be connected to a cathode resistor. If you don't use a resistor to bias the output tube you will likely destroy it in short order since you are not restricting the floe of current through it.
You should use a capacitor to bypass the cathode resistor unless you like listening to music without any bass.
You should have a separate winding for each tube. Good luck!
