Tubes Are Good

When you say hot do you mean the plate is glowing red? If so the coupling caps NEED to be replaced. Do not operate it like this for any length of time as the tubes are quickly going to be ruined,. EL84s do run hot normally, and probably much hotter than the RF tubes in the set but should never run with red plates.
