In series it should come up some I think. There’s one in there already if it don’t come up I don’t know what else to do to get the voltage up more to see if it makes any difference

where exactly in series did you put it on this schematic?

ANY diode, no matter the type, solid or tube type, will have a forward voltage loss, solid having the least, and schottky type having the lowest forward loss.

the more in series, the more the loss

I had put a 1n4007 at the 25z6 positive tube and the voltage came up from 90v to iirc 125v common for these sets to have low b+
