 Re the 390  replacements of the 6082 s  with 6080 s .........Hi Drew ,  If one was worried about Fil dissipation  in the 6080 s  A couple of extra power diodes would drop the voltage another 1.2 volts, with minimal consequences and at less than 10 cents  each .......a cheap way out , But I soak tested the R390 for 24 hours and I couldn't detect any temperature rise in the  Transformer  and the 6080 s weren't showing any signs of distress , I did measure 7 Volts of Halve wave rectified DC across each tube , The 6080 s in OZ  can be acquired for less than 3$ , So a workable Solution at Minimal Expense and trouble !    cheers Bernie N  web page www.radiomillen.net/vk2abn
