Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Have you tried a know, good set of EL84?

These reflektor tubes are new and test at 95 to 105% of specified plate current on eico 667 tester set for 7189. The thing came with JJ el84 which is not rated for the voltages in this amp. It came to me with a blown JJ rectifier. The JJs are still OK having not been in there very long but I am not leaving them in there for very long. The current and bias voltage relationships I have described for the reflektors apply to the JJs as well.
As to another suggestion that separate resistors be in place for all four tubes I completely agree and might end up doing that. Thank you all for your interest in this project.
