Sean, that 201 is a workhorse of a radio. Lots more power than the
kenwoods. I would be careful about pulling out a final. Lots of final
stages are configured in "push pull" this expects to see two identical final
tubes. The other problem is having a hot plate cap hanging out in space.
800 volts shorting to ground usually is not a good thing. Actually, it's
never a good thing. If you are driving an amp, back off the drive to both
tubes instead. If you are not driving an amp, use the power. That's why
it's there.
