I edited this post to include the .pdf of my report as an attachment you can download from here, instead of linking to scribd.com. That site used to be free for downloading my stuff but now you have to be a "member" to download anything ($10 a month ! ) so I quit uploading to it.

In fall 2019 one of the Sovtek 6V6GTs decided to go out in a blaze of glory. I replaced both Sovteks with a pair of brand new JJ 6V6S from Amateur Electronic Supply. They have been working great ever since. They are the ones in my avatar image.
