BWilliamson	Re: spitfire clone still red plating "do i leave the tubes in?" If your still red-plating, pull them out. As they will have no effect on this test perhaps they might still be good. From way previous post: "unless i just change the cathode resistor to a higher value, but i dont want to leave class a bias range." IF you go thru life thinking the "Only Class A amps are Single Ended" you'll be right 99.8% of the time. Adjust your cathode resistor IMHO. bwilliamson
