here's the patent app, but it's for shared, cathode biased, applying it to fixed bias might bring un-intended things to light

Thanks, I assume it would be better/safer to just use a ppimv master volume, even if the 5f6a circuit had adjustable bias?

You could use light bulbs in the amp's output > light bulbs > speaker
