I think I have enough 6au6 to use as currency for a small nation. Also EF184 as well as 6bh6/6661. So a pentode CCS in the cathode of a 6gk5 set for 10mA with a bipolar 85v+/85v- supply. I had only planned on 300mA or so of filaments to feed, but i could dig around for a more robust tranny.

How about more hearasy with a high voltage mosfet in the cathode and a bipolar supply?

The depletion FET CCS is FINE. In the right place heaterless pentodes are terrific.
