The Eimac MAX is for full operation, wheras the Dentron is reading
standby. The slight extra voltage will be of no problem and your key down
will be within spec.
I would be more concerned about your filament voltage which has been
known to be high on some MLA's. The last one I had here was 6.80V and I
changed over to 6.2VDC regulated.
Bill Orr has stressed filament voltage criteria in articles for over 25
years now as being extremely important for tube life. Bill is ex-Eimac
for those not familiar with his excellent series of articles on amps,
cooling and all sorts of related subjects.
