    Rectifier tube advice

    The mod consisting or removing the two 470 Ohms resistors seems also a rather adventurous one; yes, it will result in a resistor of 100 Ohms instead of 82,45 Ohms, limiting so the current going to the rectifier tube, but two parallel resistors somehow cumulate (not perfectly) their power...
