[Amps] sb-230 mods

[kevin schuchmann]

Hello All,
   I recently have picked up a heathkit sb-230 amp, it looks like it had a 
flash over in the grid circuit  at some point which was repaired... the amp 
works but its a bit squirrly in its tuning,  so I'm cleaning things up on it 
and I'm going to add a HV glitch resistor and some diodes on the meter for 
some protection...

I not real thrilled with the 2 beads on the anode lead... is that really 
enough? or would I be better off to put a more traditional parasitic 
suppresor in there?  any coments or ideas on other mods  to prolong the life 
of these hard to get 8873's would be appreciated...

Thanks and 73
Kevin
