In my JTM45 copy, and I suspect others, pin #1 (suppressor grid) on the output tube - EL34 - socket is connected to pin #8 (cathode), which is connected to ground.
I've seen a YouTube video (yeah, I know) where pin #1 is not connected this way, but instead is not grounded, and is used to "anchor" the otherwise hanging ends of the 5.1k resistor attached to pin #5 (control grid).
Simple question - is this okay?
