Hello,
I need to put a screen resistor on an EL84 based guitar amp. I'd like to
use one the unused pins - 1, 6, or 8 - as a support terminal to
attach one side of the resistor to: e.g. resistor across 1 & 9 with the
B+ connected at 1. On a 6L6 I would use pin 6 as a support since it
is labeled NC - not connected. Looking up the basing for the EL84 shows
the 1,6 and 8 pins as IC - internally connected. I believe this
is what NC and IC stand for but I could be wrong. So I'm not sure what
would happen if I put the B+ on the 'blank' pins on the EL84.
Is IC the same as NC? Can I do it?

TIA -rp
