Mendel:
I too was a bit timid soldering on PCB's, several here said go for it and it was easy once I figured out what is what. I agree about the quality of the newer EH tubes and if I pop another will be looking for something else. The irony, the original output tubes (EH) lasted over a decade, go figure.

Generally I have very little trouble with EH KT-88s. But for ARC amps I recommend what they are using/recommending - which right now is the Sovtek 6550WE.
I will take Jim McShane's recommendation and go with Sovtek's.

Replacement tube arrived, biased all 8. Some good Argentine Malbec and Rolling Stones are making sweet music!

I actually have a day-off and replaced the Cathode resistor and was able to get a reading. Once the replacement tube arrives, will bias it and should be good to go.
Thanks a bunch for your knowledge.
