I have so many questions coming up. For a typical el84 power tube on the datasheet it states the typical characteristics have Ia=48mA.
I'm measuring 36mV=36mA from the probes with the pots turned to max so I should be able to have it up to 48mA = 48mV from the probes am I correct? This would be max of course. So maybe just under 48mA=48mV max. I believe the max of 36mV is from the 150R cathode resistor setting it to that stock max. Could I lower that cathode resistor down in order to allow more current to go through for a higher max current but also limited to under but much closer to 48mV operating max of the tube? Would this work?
