[R-390] 6080 in place of 6802 - RMS ???

Tom -

	When I received my R390 someone had put in 6080's.  They were running
extremely hot and were rather scorched.  I assumed that they were there in
error and substituted 6082's.  These ran poorly, with the B+ never rising
fully.  After much headscratching I ultimately discovered that the filaments
were in series and the diode shorted!  Apparently  neither 6080's or 6082's
like 12.6v ...

Just pray that the diode doesn't short out...
Might be a good place for a fuse...
