Carey, if the metering circuit is in the cathode lead it can add some bias  
voltage which will lower the tube gain. You might check the circuit wiring 
to  make sure the meter is between B- and the point that the grid meter and 
cathode  bias are connected.

man  these pesky shunts. ok now should a meter shunt value have any effect 
on the  output? i am not seeing why it should. but it is. also if i remove 
the shunt  the cuttoff resistor blows. i feel i have a loop of some kind. i 
shoud be able  to bypass the plate current meter all together and still have 
output.  right??
