Carlo is correct--Svetlana is producing the EF-86

"Is a plate resistor of 330k and a cathode resistor of 2k2 typical for an EF86"

Check out the AC4, AC15 or is it the 10. Maybe both used A EF-86 and they didn't use a 330k/3.3M. 220K and 2.2M for one of them, I've seen other radically different values in Hi-Fi applications.

As for the specs, I've pulled a data sheet from Duncan's site for the tube. Remember that Mullard book they were talking about a bit back, everything in there is EF-86 based designs.

I bet a couple of these guys got pretty much everything covered. We just need to needle them till they give them up!!!
