Or just forgo the differences with them all as I did with my 16XL , and get a plug in SS tube, ECG511 / R-2AV2, less draw on on the FBT helps, even if it's tiny as the heater current.
However, it's been proven that the SS substitute for the HV rectifier will not work, and overheat and burn up, it happened to me, and to shango066 ( as seen in one of his videos ) on a CTC-16.
Not sure why it smokes, but it seems only the good old glass type works.
