Re: el34s in a mac mc60

Love
When I changed the original diode I put in a uf4007 and I had to put a 5.1k resistor in series with it to get the proper neg bias..The mac service lit calls for 435vdc on the plate and -47 on the grid at idle of course..When you change from the selenium to the silicon you have less drop and a high voltage out so the 5.1k limits that..I put in a 3.9k to raise it so now I have minus 49v on the grid.
