American Viking,
Thank you for the reply. Let me back up a little. I never said I did all the things Liam suggested. All I did was change the screen resistors to 1K5W and changed the bias resistor to be able to pull it in. I realize it's biased cold right now, that's why I'm so confused. Why is it getting hot? I only wanted someone to tell me if there's something important that I missed (possibly something on Liam's list.) What else makes tubes hot, if they are already biased too cold?
