Shane	spitfire type clone using 6BM8 Hi ampagers' I'm thinking of building an amp similar to the matchless spitfire but using a couple of 6BM8 tubes using the triode sections as the PI. I would appreciate any input, particularly with regard to the resitor values in the PI and for the cathode bias resistor and bypass cap. any ideas guys? cheers Shane Dolman.

ChrisW	ECL86s don't sound like EL84s and ECC83s . But give it a try ! Chris

Steve Ahola	Marc: That amp looks way cool! I was just thinking that for the standoffs you could use 3/8" or 1/4" pipe and run the wiring inside the pipe... So what brand EF86 are you using? Any problems with microphonics? --Thanks! Steve Ahola
