I have my two 5F6A's coming together nicely and had a few questions.
I'm using the Classictone 120/240 PT since they didn't have stock for the standard model.

I just want to double check my understanding the primary connection for 120V since I've read a few different wiring explanation.
-I connect the Black/White to the Brown/White. Connect that to the neutral (white wire) from the wall supply.
-Black to the Brown PT wires and then take that junction to the switch and then to the fuse
-ORANGE goes to ground
Secondary:
-RED/YEL is the center tap and goes to the negative of the filter cap
-RED/GRN goes to the bias circuit
With this PT, I have the option of using 710V secondary or 610V. Which should I use to get myself into proper voltage range.?
In the end, I should only have 2 wires to tape off..the unused 710 or 610.
Finally, I usually use NOS rectifiers in my smaller builds (5Y3). Seeing as getting my hands on a NOS GZ34 is a bit costly, how does this circuit perform with a modern production one?
Should I stick with a modern GZ34 or try something else?
