    Heres a picture of the 2M2 resistors (I believe) as one side goes to pin two. Bob

      Lift one end and connect in series another 2M2 resistor. The negative voltage rises with it.
      After, fine-tuning is required. Depending on the degree of the tubes may need to raise the final value.

        Or assemble the tested and working circuit I posted above on a small PCB and you'll have real bias adjustment.

          Well I decided to bump down the 120k . Got 13.7 on pin 2 now. The PI bias barely moved. If I was to do it nicely I'd put a 76k and 50 k pot in place of the 120k and perhaps a 20k pot in place of the 15k Pi bias resistor. Bob
