RE: EICO HF-89 restoration

Jim
The gain stage 12ax7 is already direct couple to the 6sn7. As a matter of fact,the only coupling caps used are the .1s to the outputs and the .22 or .25 decoupling caps.
I agree that the 7199 was a total POS. It was great in integrated amps driving 7189s or 7591s but not when you want to drive higher power pentodes. My one HF87 I left cathode bias but,I didn't keep the DC filaments that were derived from the cathode voltage of the el34s. Was that a waste or what? I just paralleled 4,5 and use pin 9,ac filaments. The hf87 does that have the bias tap on the PT.
