I have an amp that uses both 6EU7 and 12AX7 tubes and Ive run into a heater problem. Ive started adding another 12AX7 and i just cannot figure these heaters. There used to be a 6eu7 in its place, but Ive redirected the wires and relocated the heaters for a 12ax7. obviously, the 6eu7 already had the 6.3v across the heaters so i just moved those to pins 4 and 5. I figured I would just take a jumper cable from the center tap of the other 12Ax7 and send it to the CT of the new one. Well with that arrangement, only one of the heaters works. Ive tried just a couple other things but no luck. any help here?

There are two 6 volt filaments (pins 4-9 and pins 5-9, each of which share a common connection (pin 9). If you want to use 6 volts, the two filaments need to be wired in parallel, so tie 4 and 5 together as one terminal, and use pin 9 as the second terminal.
