Hello,

Im working on my 304TL VTTC, and with a doubler im up to about 18" with 
only one tube.  Problem is, the tubes getting red to say the least!  I 
would actually have to say almost an orange!  I know this is probably 
bad.  But, does anyone know how red these tubes are spec'd to run?  I think 
im up to 90v on the variac, so thats about 3000v or so on the plate.  Im 
going to look into staccato circuits, but for now i would like to know how 
red/orange can this tube run.  If anyone has this type of experience or 
info on this tube, let me know.  Thanks,

Steve Ward.
