Catch 22 with a 45 tube

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I read 2.7vac filaments on a pair of 45 tubes wired in parallel on a 2.5v 3A transformer. When I series a .1 ohm 10w resistor the voltage drops to 2.5v but it introduces hum. It's dead quiet at 2.7v. I would appreciate any suggestions.
