You say "2K". I have a 2K-2.  The tube filaments are in series. The amp 
will not run at all with one tube pulled. I believe this is the case for 
all the 2K series.

If you actually have a 2K (the original amp from the 60's) it would have 
tube type rectifiers and 3-400Z's  as finals.

A 2K-2 would have 3-400Zs and a 2k-3 would have 3-500Zs.

Henry did some unusual stuff. The 2K-2 I own actually had all the 
factory mods for a 2K-3 but did use 3-400Zs.  I dropped the sockets so 
that it is really a 2K-3 now. Filaments are in series as with the 2K-2.

Wonderful amps.
