Should be mentioned that early 1935-1936 "monoplate" 2A3 can be used in Stereomour and I wouldn't recommend using them in a stock SII. I wanted I'd recommend dropping the B+ voltage/limit the cathode dissipation and use a slow heater start up for longevity (maybe with the DC heater upgrade from Bottlehead?).

Try a pair of RCA bi-plates.
