Hi, Ray -Yes. It's been a while and I only built a prototype, so I won't be able to recall precisely which one without digging into some old notes. A really interesting feature about this circuit is that it let me hear (over headphones) exactly how microphonic the long tailed pair input tube was by tapping on the bulb. A good 12AX7 would return hardly any input as compared to 12at7's grid wires obviously vibrating while all the 6DJ8's I tried tapping made sounds similar to glass breaking, this all correlating strongly with transconductance.
