Other than the finals, the most often replaced tube for my rig is V14
6GW8. It is also the hottest (temp) as well as screen resistor R316
which I already changed to a 1W . The plate is running at max
300VDC(V14B)

What if I changed the screen resistor R316 to a 33K? Would gain suffer
too much?

The real root of the problem seems to me to be 124VAC at the outlet
which results in no-load PS voltages way too high.
B++ is 838V and B+ is 371, while FIL is 14.5VAC. Not much I can do
though.

What do you think?
