Re: 7189s in Dynaco ST-35 - Ouch!

Ivan,

Believe it or don't, I think that pins 1 & 6, in a 7189A are intended NOT to be connected to anything. The internal connection of 1 & 6 is just to draw heat off (like an internal heat sink) to the socket.

I believe that the 7027A uses this same idea, for unused pins of the 6L6 types.

I guess I was think more like the NOS 7189 and 7189A. Though I notice that the Reflector 7189A mil spec do demand more power than the EL84.

I presume (big WAG) that if the plate voltage is more or less constant---that the extra load demanded by the 7189A is done via extra current draw on the PS. Thus, the disaster.
