center tap on 300B?

64.12.117.12

There are only four pins to a 300B. Two are the ends of the filament, the other two are grid and plate. You'd need a fifth pin to CT the filament.

You create the virtual CT with the hum pot across the filament. Even with PP, two separate heater TX's, one winding for each filament in combination with a hum pot is enough to get the cathode's hum contribution out of the picture. Most tubes are good enough a simple CT winding can do the trick...but it is no guarantee.
