The amp works, it sags a bit too much for me but I am working on it.
I was talking about, I tried to post a picture, since I do not use a photo posting service, I tried to use facebook. Did not work.

Thanks
Bob

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Changing to a more efficient PT with more iron, and/or a lower secondary winding resistance, and/or increasing the size of the filter caps (within reason - given the max reservoir cap rating of a tube rectifier) should help reduce the sag a bit.

If this is a 6G6 with a GZ34 rectifier, then there isn't much you can do in that regard if you want to keep the existing PT, because changing to SS rectification will (all other things like the 2ndary HT winding VAC being equal) result in an increase in idle voltage, which will change other characteristics of the amp as well.
