I'll be using the 1202-118 power transformer and the 784-139 output transformer.
So I think the PT's B+ is speced at 420v, would this be correct to use 2x 8.2k resistors for the dropper?
As I understand it the higher the resistance the less voltage gets through and therefore the browner the sound.
Inversely the less resistance the more voltage passes and so more power stage head room is created.
So it's all about how much B+ is produced and getting it in the zone. So this is the bit I'm not 100% on. Is this right
450v use 2x 10k
420v use 2x 8.2k
380-390v use 1x 10k
Ultimately what B+ should I be shooting for on a 68/69 50w 1987?

Re: Screen Dropper Resistors?
try it and see what you like. it drops the preamp, not the screens

Re: Screen Dropper Resistors?
Ok, thanks Roe. But isn't there a target voltage range Marshall would have been looking to hit for these amps?
