Re: 45's in AES SE-1?

No way! Recommended operating current is 36mA, and a max 10W plate dissipation. At 90mA you had better keep the plate voltage biased to 110V or under. That'll provide about 0.5W if you do so. That's non-optimal for all 45's, including the Vaic, by a long margin, unless I'm missing something interesting here when 0.5W will do. But 90mA is hard on the tube at any voltage.
