I spoke with someone I work with that's trained in electronics and he said you have to go above what you need in amps due to loss with the terminal connections and wiring. I need 3.0 minimum, so I am going to just use the ARBE III for the B and the 6V-20AH battery I have on order for the "A". This "Power-Sonic" battery (

I can easily return back to the "A" tubes and just use the ARBE III exclusively, but I really want to stick to my goal of operating the set with the early tubes.
