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.
