If I had one se with a 1L6, I would run it on battery to prevent smoking it.  1L6s are expensive and hard to get.  One of the reasons that my TO is an 8G005.  Funny, when I got it about 6 years ago, the battery actually had some juice to ti (nowhere enough to play the radio, but a battery that was likely no newer than 65 years old actually had some voltage to it.  Tossed the battery innards, kept the case.  Will prolly build an invertor (too much noise in the ones sold for nixie clocks, unless I have not found the right combo of caps to filter) for the 90V and use Ds for the fils.  Does work rather well, and amazingly, still has the original caps (will recap it) Bought this model because it is one of the more reasonably priced TOs, I like the Loctals (Yeah, I know that there is something wrong with me but no 1L6) and I like the Push Pull output.  Also have the 6G001 (Standard Broadcast) of the same vintage, that I rescued from a landfill more than50 years ago.  Pant and plating on these radios are phenomenal, they usually look like new!
