First you can buy ready made boards to make this easier.....The real thing is the cost factor. Old Surplus Russian tubes that function fantastically easy in super simple grounded grid format make it too affordable to play with anything else.

I am a first time builder and I am playing with triodes, tetrodes and pentodes but almost all of them are Russian because you can afford to play! Tubes Eimac makes are too darn expensive end of story.I can buy a 3500, 7000watt, 10,000watt tube for under $200off ebay.
