What's the best way to get G2 Bias over to pin 6 on a P16 tube in a marquee? I know people used to solder it on but is there a perfered method now?
Someone mentioned drilling out socket #6 and simply plugging in the stock white jumper wire directly to the tube. I've never tried this but it sounds like a better way to go as I think #6 is not used on the 180DMB's and this method would allow swapping a stock tube back in down the road.

That is exactly how I do it and how some VDC modded boards are done. Works just fine. Remove the soldered in pin with a soldering iron, drill out the pad. Done.

I think this mod for LUG,s also applies to P16,s also but read through it as well.

I also just found this pic of someone adding a female conector to pin 6 on the marquee board and making a jumper wire with male pins on each end to connect to the G2 wire and he also lifted one end or the 330k resistor. this is for the ampro tube but in the same thread it was confirmed the p16's are interchangable on the ampros also p18's
