Thank you.
What Heyboer PT did you use?
HTS-9144 from RJ

Did you measure power tube plate current and dissipation? If it is high your other voltages will get pulled down.
You can adjust your different node voltages by changing the dropping string resistors. Sometimes tube selection will affect voltages if they draw more or less current than others.
No, I still need to measure that. Ok, that's good to know. Thanks very much.

Thanks Max. The woodburning is pretty cool. It's not difficult, just takes some practice to learn what tip you need and how slow or fast you need to move the tip over the wood to get the desired look you are going for.
