Hi, Chris!
I could change the voltages on all those tubes, but like John said, we
might mess up the timing... from your initial plot I thought only RTOF3
was bad enough to require intervention...

On the other hand, if gains are going down, maybe putting them back
by adding about 30 volts would not create that much of a timing shift...
just let me know if you think it should be done...
