Where to install the DO-5 Zener for low hum?

Peter	Where to install the DO-5 Zener for low hum? Hi, if you look at the 5f1 layout diagram, where would you install the DO-5 chassis mount Zener for low hum? The only place, where there is enough room, is left of the 5Y3. Is this o.k.? Or will the heat from the Zener damage the 5Y3 tube in the long run? About the other grounds: As this is a Mojo kit, I don't have a brass plate. Most of the grounds are connected to the chassis using a terminal lug on the bottom right power transformer screw. Other grounds are soldered to the input jack and volume pot. So is putting the DO-5 Zener left of the 5Y3 o.k.? Peter

Hi,

if you look at the 5f1 layout diagram, where would you install the DO-5 chassis mount Zener for low hum?

The only place, where there is enough room, is left of
the 5Y3. Is this o.k.? Or will the heat from the Zener damage the 5Y3 tube in the long run?
