Corrections:

>  I use a pushpull final with separate grid and plate current meters FOR 
>EACH TUBE, so this requires two separate grid leaks, one for each tube, a 
>separate protective bias supply for each tube, and of course, a separate 
>filament transformer for each tube.

>I never liked putting the plate current meter between the hv transformer 
>midtap and ground, unless the filter caps are returned directly to the 
>transformer.  Otherwise, the charging current of the filter caps shows up 
>on the meter, and with large enough caps, could actually damage the meters 
>on startup.  The bleeder needs to go to the PLATE TRANSFORMER MIDTAP as 
>well, or else the meter will read plate current plus bleeder current.
