RE: 65uF capacitor?

This is a great suggestion... and something I have not done. Taking a quick a look through the RCA Radiotron Manual (version 10), pages 1-21 look like a great introduction. I will be reading this as a refresher over the next few days.

I find endeavours more rewarding when I have some knowledge of the fundamentals/ basics. From that point I can build, question, experiment... and can develop understanding.

My tube learning was messy and my knowledge remains gappy. When I started seriously considering building amps as a hobby, I read the NEETS training manual (just the first few modules related to electricity, not the tube part) then goodness knows how many posts and tube-specific articles of various types... then attempted an early edition of Morgan Jones, which was a challenge. I learned how to calculate various types of circuits (and even designed some) and worked through converting schemas to layouts... all before building/modifying my first amp. I'm certainly not suggesting other beginners take this approach(!) - there are more efficient ways.

I still have so much to learn, but time is limited and becoming more so.
