Finally have enough assembled to illustrate the answer to this question.How did you decide to mount those big Miflex caps?
Supposed to be 5V I believe, so we’re a little low.Nicely matched, what is the filament voltage supposed to be?
You know, I just so happen to have an extra 10 ohm hum pot laying around. I will get on that later today! Thanks again Paul!I would get another decimal point on the 71A filament voltages if possible.
You can parallel some resistors across the 8 ohm resistor to bring the voltage to spec. If you have an extra 10 ohm 5W hum pot, you can wire that as a 10 ohm variable resistor and clip lead that across one 8 ohm resistor, then turn it down until you see 5V across the filaments.
Of course putting a 10 ohm resistor across the 8 ohm resistor may bring the voltage up past 5V, in which case you'll have to clip lead in other values until you find one that produces the desired numbers.
Ok, I’ll do that. Any concerns with B+ voltage being a little high?You could take the 8 ohm resistor out and replace it with a 5 ohm 3W resistor, or put 10 ohms across what you have (3W rated should be fine).
