Ken, 1 more thing to keep in mind. Some of the EAR509 amps used a el-509 and some used the pl509. The el version has 6.3 volt filaments. The Pl tubes have a 40 volt filament. I think also some of the 519's have the 40 volt filament. Watch carefully.Gary
Antique Electronics Supply has PL509s/40KG6s on sale for $14.50 thru 14 May. How many might you need for a lifetime of listening?https://secure.tubesandmore.com/I used to sell EAR equipment in the '80s as Two Jeffreys Audio. Those 509 amps were the type that were indeed difficult to bias. A friend still has a pair, and they WORK!
