I would check with AES.  Talk to Jim and tell him that Lefty Jeff from Philly 
and Micro-amp-signal-tech Rich from California referred you.

The zener on the center tap is reputed (in A.G.A.) to work well for reducing 
the B+ level, though it does affect the bias supply level by the same amount 
IF the bias supply is tapped from the main HV taps.

Again, try AES, but I think the only 8 they carry is a Kendrick, and Jim does 
not recommend them.  Also check with a Mojo dealer.
C-ya! Rich
