This is a bit more complicated since it is a grid driven, pentode with all the 
bias supplies.
I was thinking of runing the tubes as you do 4-400A or 813s in grounded grid 
operation. 
I suspect the tube will perform ok but not sure of it.

Hi Bill,

GU81M grounded grid...
What you think about this one;

Thanks
