The picture at right shows the area between the front panel of the amp and the faceplate,
viewed from below. The shaft for the input tune control is near the bottom, the mechanical
apparatus for the plate tune is above this. To the left is the resistor that bleeds 10 mA
of G2 current to the cathode. Further right is R14, and RV102 (not actually used in the
final version). Above RV102 is Q2 (barely visible). Also visible are the feedthrough caps
C10 & C11 for the filament voltage to the tube, and the varsistors that protect the screen
bypass capacitors and tetrode boards in case of HV flashover to G2. Lastly, a low-value
resistor is used to drop the filament voltage generated by the filament transformer to no
more than 6.3 VAC, measured right at the tube.
