Filament polarity. Good point about the suppressor g3 connection. A positive suppressor might liven up the anode current flow nicely. But there is also the point of the effect on the diode in the DAF96. My Mullard data book of 1956 says that "the diode anode is located at the negative end of the filament." If at the positive end, it would perhaps give a useful AVC delay. wme-bill.
