================================== Perhaps it is for this reason, a method that is used in some other diode circuits. The resistor in series with the filament reduces the no-signal d-c level on the output. The no-signal d-c level is caused by the tube contact potential. If not reduced it may cause a delay voltage to be present. Maybe, maybe not. My WAG. Back to spending my wife's inheritance.
