Yes, the screen voltage VVR is on the front panel. I just posted a description of some of my observation in the 6SJ7 Pentode Operating Conditions thread started by rp.

On every one of these I use I get a tube of automotive silicone gasket maker and run 3 fat twist of it around the tube, this deadends a good amount of microphonic out of them!
Using a sheild on them that clamps them down to the chassis is the worst thing you can do!
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!
