If there is a url for details on the www? 

 Just what the world needs is another web page!


Everytime u key the amp the filament voltage changes at roughly the same
percentage as the HV since both windings are on the same xfmr.  The 8874
filament spec is +/- 5% and I would prefer  -2.5%   +/- 1% for maximum
life.
