RE: tube choice

On one amp, a simple reversal of the plug did reduce the chassis voltage (120V down to about 26), the other was not so good. Both ended up getting three prong power cords.
The power switch, while I think is rated at 3A, is not really very good. The contacts started to arc when turned on and off. Eventually failing.
Place a snubber capacitor across the contacts will help.
