Continuation fyi: 6DJ8 have same gain and same

6.3 volt filaments as the 6922 and 7308. After spending some time with Leonard at ARC today discussing this subject I've learned a little more but am confused as to why he says one thing and people here say another. I've learned very much here and respect many peoples knowledge. I mean to ruffle no feathers, only trying to learn.
I asked Leonard specifically: Can you use a 6dj8 in any circuit designed for a 6922?" He said yes and told me about the gain and filament voltage and went into the history of this family a bit.

Apparently on the LS 16 the current from the power supply is 150 volts. There is a resister,R8, which drops it down to 50 volts. There was more to this but he talked faster than I can write.
As it was explained to me the 6922 and the 7308 are made to tighter specs, his words not mine.
