The 6X5 has a very high failure rate and when it fails... ByeBye transformer..
I know the GT is better but it is still not "safe"
I want it safe so I will bypass the 6X5G. It will still glow but it will be non functional as a rectifier...

Mike, is 150 ohm 5 watt good? someone said to use 200ohm 10watt resistors...
