Help with E80F quiescent operating point

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Dear Inmates,
I need some help here... never used pentodesâ€¦.
I'm trying to establish a quiescent operating point for a E80F pentode. The tube will be used as input tube for a (MM) phono-stage. I also want to use 0V bias (if possible) and a anode choke.
Tube data for E80F = here: E80F
Using this recipe from Steve Bench to get what I want, it seems impossible to find a quiescent operating point which complies with step 4.4 in SBâ€™s recipe (plate current is zero long before I reach a bias 2 x Vq and thus can't establish Ve).
What am Iâ€™m doing wrong here?
Regards,
NC
