So if you do series and paralled cost is no more than a couple of bucks. Look forward to seeing the finished project. David

 They are even cheaper then that if you buy some off of Mouser, I think that they were around $.15 each through there, so even less of an excuse not to double up on them. The reason I investigated was for the diode dropper trick in early AC/DC radios and series string TVs, much cheaper to buy an extra diode then a new set of tubes if one shorts out.
