Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted confirmation.

Let me clarify the design:

First stage is -
Either an ECC99 (single or paralleled) or an EL84
with unbypassed 100 ohm resistor on the cathode
for a bias ~3V at 30mA for a gain of 15/16 and 12 respectively
(Need only 1 and 1.4Vrms to put 300B into clipping)

Second stage -
Sovtek 2A3 biased at 40V and 30mA into 1:1 IT
With a gain of 3.62

Third stage -
TJ(?) 300B biased at 84V and 80mA into 2.5K OPT
With a gain of 3

So, (as you can see) yes it can handle the voltage swing.

I don't mind bunny trails as long as the original question is addressed
Sorry for my soapbox tirade but I guess I had to vent abit.

Thanks Alot
