RE: How does 845 A2 happen, pinging NAZ or other for assistance

The gain is not mu unless the load impedance is infinite. Use mu*(RL/(rp+RL)) - it is the usual approximation. Or draw the load line on the plate curves.

The step-up interstage transformer increases the source impedance of the driver 300B, from 750 ohms to 3000 ohms, which is too high to get very far into grid current without distortion.
