The 50C5 and two 35L6GT tubes in this amp add up to an even 120V heater voltage connected in series.

I think the 50C5 is being used as a rectifier.

The 205V that comes in right now is run through a 500ohm resistor right after the on switch for the amp.

I'm starting to think I could just feed the whole thing 120V straight from my transformer, bypass the 500ohm resistor, and it should work? It would kind of make sense. To me at least.
