The YC-156 will not work with conventional center tap B-.B- needs to be
brought to the cathode seperately thru an rf choke similar to 8877
designs.Using center tap connection will cause filament modulation. Another
way is to use half of the filament choke to connect B- to the tube cathode.
I have done this in my YC-156 decks and have no filament hum.. Look
at:www.k7rdx.w4zt.com for detailed pics..Jim..K7RDX..
