Bingo. The new 6П14П-EB tubes are in.
I set my Variac to 125 volts and was able to adjust three of the four to 340 mV. I can't get V16 below 352 or so mV. Close enough, I suppose. All four of the cathodes are now measuring 20.1 to 20.3 volts to ground.
I think that when I run this unit, I'm going to run it through a bucking transformer to cut the line voltage to around 110-112 volts. My line voltage here is usually 125 volts, with occasional 126 volt spikes.
For now, though, those new 6П14П-EB tubes do sound good, even on AM and through my tiny Minimus-7 speakers.
I can't wait to get this thing hooked up to my Bozak E-300s.
But I still need to install an inrush current limiter and re-clean the Selector and Mono-Stereo switches before I can button it up and call it done.
