Out of interest does the grid resistor connect to ground/chassis as shown in the schematic?

Lawrence.

yes the the grid resistor goes to chassis ground
i have put the replacement ul41 in , i can put more HT in. before LT goes to high,, anode 180 volt, screen grid 170 g1 -9 but with mains reduced ul41 heater at 40 volt ht 190 volt, meter, Heathkit vtvm /fluke 25 any more volts and LT may pop small valves ?
thanks for the replies.. dave
