Hi, Chris!
The only tube that seemed to go consistently down was RTOF3 top (not
bottom as I had written)... that was consistent with your efficiency
finding, so I put an extra 50 volts on it.
LTOF5 bottom (and others) seems OK in the raw flasher ADC check that I do
for stability only (it also looks OK on the online GUI if I remember
correctly) but I just added 30 volts per your request (it cannot hurt).
When the HVGUI is rebooted, it will read from the database the new value.
