Thanks for the thorough information, Colin. Still processing here...

The QY3-125 that G2DAF used is the same as a 4-125. The operating
conditions in "G2DAF mode" are given in the scanned pages on my web
site.

Well, if that was the circuit of the amp that Rich heard, it is NOT a
G2DAF! It uses Norm's own ideas about generating screen voltage, and
thus is not relevant to this discussion.
