• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

While soldering changed schematics significantly.
Now pentodes are loaded on CCSs with servos, G2 voltage for them taken from 150V gas discharge lamp through a source follower (one more gas discharge lamp in series gives 105 more, so plate voltage for preamps and drivers is +250V now -- more than enough).
