Golden Eagle 750 " relay help"

and negative bias the finals had -111vdc of bias on pins 5 and 9 which seems high ?
Yeah, that's high. They used a NE-2 neon pilot lamp as a zener diode for the negative grid bias. If you can find a 82 Volt 5-Watt zener, it will probably take the place of the neon bulb okay. Just be sure to leave as much extra lead wire on the zener as you can. The surface of the lead wires is part of the heat sinking for that kind of component. Cutting the leads too short will raise its operating temperature for no good reason.

To replace the bias regulator bulb the banded end (cathode) of the zener will go to ground.

Whups, was replying to the previous post. Screen voltage is necessary too. Seems to me the schemo is in a publication I uploaded called "Amplifier World". Should be posted on the forum here...
