Hi, All !

I am going to build an amplifier using GU-46 tube. It is glass
pentode. You know in the tetrodes we need to use a shunt 
regulator to cure the negative screen current problem.
But is it safe to use a series type regulator for pentodes ? 
I.e. can the screen current be negative (at first sight it can't)?

All the best,
