DUH!!!
Having looked at the Riders Vs. Philco service info, it appears that I suspected a really high plate voltage on the 6Q7... Riders appears to spec "125"; Philco appears to spec 175. Conclusion: at 208 Volts it is just high, not REALLY HIGH... (AND would no doubt look even closer if I had the 1000 Ohm/Volt Philco 025 test instrument). Would someone look at their paperwork and confirm? Now onto recapping, just waiting for my recap kit to come in. Stay tuned.
