Dropping Resistors for 0.6 A heater draw

[Jamier]

What would the values of dropping resistors for the AC heaters need to be to allow for a tube that has a 0.6 A heater draw?

With lower voltage stuff like this, it's helpful to measure for your specific situation and see where your voltages land. If you're within 10% of 6.3V, I wouldn't adjust the resistors.

Thanks PB,

Just to be sure, if I want to measure this I would put in the tubes in question, clip lead the heater pins on the socket and measure AC voltage?

Yes, that is where you'd start.
