I played with some guessed values. First being the actual voltage of 360, resistance of 60 mA, 10 Hy choke of 100R, and a 2 mOhm/100 uF capacitor feeding a 100 mA CCS. With 5AR4 rectifier, I got 300V, and with the oh-so-cheaper 6AX4 I got 290...

If you take less current, you'll have a slightly higher B+, but it does not make much difference. This model should have unloaded voltage put in yeild best results( or at least that's my finding ).

There is also the 6EY6 and 6EZ5 ( I think I got the alfa-bit-soup right ), which are very similar to 6V6 and come NOS at better than new production 6V6's price.
cheers,
Douglas
