I don't recall this situation ever being addressed before but perhaps 
there are things I should consider before trying it. Would appreciate 
your thoughts.

I have a pile of bits, tubes, sockets, other assorted parts, certainly 
more than enough to build a 2 tube amp. The tubes are like 4CX350's so a 
single tube amp seems hardly worth it beyond an exercise. So two 
tetrodes, one amp. Now to the power supplies. I have a number of ready 
built up supplies. Each was designed to power a single one of these 
tubes. My choices are:

1.   Use the power supply parts, and build a single supply to power the 
pair of tubes by combining parts in the typical way.
2.   Use two supplies one powering each tube and feeding through 
separate RF chokes but with the RF paralleled as usual.

Which way would you approach this?

Thanks

Martin, HS0ZED
