Is it possible to set up the Clemintine up for pentode operation? How would it be done? One more question, what pins from the octal socket do you wire to a 5 pin socket for the 807?
Thanks,
Al

Al,

The clementine board is set up for a 6L6 tube so pins 2 and 7 are filaments, pin 5 is the grid, pin 4 is the screen, pin 3 is the plate, and pin 8 is the cathode.

On your 807 tube, pins 1 and 5 are the filaments, pin 3 is the grid, pin 2 is the screen, and pin 4 is the cathode. The plate is the connector at the top of the tube.

Hope this helps.
