[Heathkit] DX-35 Grid Drive

During the last few days I fired up a DX-35 from the fix-it shelf and it worked ok from the start. However, I did find a few loose solder joints so went over it with the iron. I added a fuse and pulled the modulator tubes to reduce the load on the pwr xfmr. So far the only problem I see is too high grid drive on 80/40 mtrs. The min. I can get is around 3.5ma. and w/o much adjustment. Twenty mtr grid drive is adjustable from 1.5 to 5 ma. Any idea how I can reduce the grid drive on 80/40? It should be around 2.5ma. for the good health of the 6146. 

Thanks...73 de Bill K4JYS
