I'm going to make a line-operated amp out of these three specimens,
because I have some octal socket breadboard things and a bunch of extra
tubes and some time on my hands over the next couple days. Also, I
wanna see if it'll work.

The 35L6 has a plate resistance of 14K at the voltage I'll be hitting
it with. What's a good OT for that, when my secondary's going to be
either 8 or 4 ohms? (I can go either way here.)

Thx,
CG

12SK7 is remote cutoff, so will distort the signal before it gets to your
35L6. 12SJ7 would be a better choice & quite inexpensive.

Looking at the rectifier seems you will have about 120 plate volts for the
35L6.
For that service the Rl published in many manuals sez 2500 ohms is a good
plate load. If you want decent BASS at a decent price have a look at the
new Hammond 125 SE Series at

Good Luck with your project. John Stewart

Hey, thanks, I actually have a couple of the Hammond SE series sitting
around here, that's perfect ... and yeah, I'll use one of the 12SJ7s I
have in stead.
