Using spare pins on power tube sockets

[TIMBO]

Hi guys, I know it is the norm to use pin6 on power tube socket for a handy placement of the screen resistor, but what about using pin1 as a connection for the grid resistor.
This is how the Holden Wasp is done, good/bad idea?? Thanks

Yup,,,

You can use pin 1 or any other unused pin as a connection point. Just be aware that certain tube types use pin 1 while others do not.

Yeah,,, don't wire it like that if you ever want to switch to EL34's

Thanks guys, That what I was thinking with the el34.

And I borrowed that idea from Fender.

Thanks guys,I'll remove the grid resistor from pin1 and use pin6 to hold the end. Connect pin 1&8 to the 1ohm bias resistor as I have done in most of my builds.
