RE: I know I sound like a broken record

"If I am reading the chart correctly, the design of the amp exceeds the spec on the tube quite a bit as it should have at least 150 ohms per leg of the secondary. Even an 8uf first cap would not have worked. Or am I missing something?"

What Steve said and....people have been abusing rectifier tubes for a long time.

It's not that it won't work......but those tubes are been hammered on (so is the input cap).

Critical inductance input choke and the hammering goes away.
