Have you installed the Speed Ball?
Then with SB upgrade the pair of wirewound resistors were removed, and I believe the plate temp dropped significantly.
I don't have any equipment to test the temperature, but I think the temp on Crack w/ Speedball is okay, the plate just feels warm, but never hot.
I am not sure if SB will increase or decrease the temp, but I think the 2 dissipators sitting on top of the SB board help to dissipate heat to the air around them thus reduce the heat conducted to the plate like the wirewound resistors do. So it could give me a biased impression that SB reduces the plate temp.
The large Speedball board heatsinks dissipate the same amount of heat as the 3K resistors do, but both the large Speedball board and the small Speedball board have some additional current flowing through them to permit the current sources to operate, so the overall heat dissipated inside the chassis is a bit higher.
The Speedball boards are not as close to the chassis, so what would be heated locally by the 3K resistors is a bit more spread out to the entire chassis after the modification.
You can often find lots of rebrands of Svetlana 6H13C/6H5C, sometimes they are rebranded as Hytron, Mullard, and even GEC, and asking for a premium for them, but really they're just Russian 6H13C/6H5C and are not worth that much. Hope you didn't pay big bucks on the 'Zaerix'. You can easily find Svetlana 6H13C/6H5C for $8 - $15.
That said, Svetlana 6H13C/6H5C is a decent tube, it sounds much better than the crappy RCA 6080.
Nice! Is it the ssame as the Winged C? I paid $28 for it to be shipped overseas. It's not a bad tube, though there are aspects about my RCA 6080 that I like more than the Zaerix that keep the RCA installed.
Those 2 space-plates are funny looking! They just kind of dangle there.

Yes, it is the same as Winged C. Svetlana's logo has a big C with wings, so it's called Winged C
Some people like the RCA 6080s, especially if they're mainly on vocal albums. RCA is famous for its warm mids - good for vocals for sure. But I really don't care for it, lack of details and soundstage, really nothing but warm, YMMV, LOL.
RCA 6AS7G sounds similar to RCA 6080, I have both, and neither of them grabs my attention, LOL
Have to cut each character out (Attack on Titan) and play with arrangement. Probably have Mikasa in the front with the bottlehead badge.
Does anyone have recommendation how i should apply these decals? I was thinking of letting the polyurethane dry, then using a gluestick on the decals, then apply...
