Won't work for the reason the resistor from the grid of a vacuum tube to 
ground was called the "grid leak" back in the first days of tube type 
receivers (yes, I was there).  Some of the electrons ejected from the 
filament will strike and become attached to the grid structure, and if not 
" leaked" off, will make the grid negative enough to cut off the 
tube.  Look in the old RCA receiving tube maunal--you will find the 
maxiimum value of the grid resistor listed for each tube type.
