Hoping one of our Bottlehead experts can help. I've measured the filament voltages on my Paramounts, and both are 2.30V. That's NOT a problem (as far as I can tell) for the Sovtek or JJ 2A3s, which work and sound fine, but may be a problem for 1 of 2 EML mesh plates (one of which doesn't make any sound).
There is a sticky for how to increase the filament voltage for the 240V Paramount, if the filament voltage is less than 2.4V. Place a 4,700-10,000 uF cap rated for at least 6.3V across FC-1 terminals 5 and 10 (2A3 filament terminals).
Is this OK to try for low filament voltages on the 120V Paramount? (Just want to be sure--don't like loud noises :
)
