Hello all.
The plate current should be set to 150ma with no rf plus or minus 10ma. 150 is
your target bias.

REPLY:
My 9500 idles at 76 mA with 3620 VDC on the plate.
It was built in October 2014 but since I am the second owner I don't
know if the tube is still the original or not. Most likely it is.
