Switch between 2A3 -> 45 or 45 -> 2A3??

Hi,

My Majestic radio use push-pull #45 as output tubes. Can I put 2A3 instead? 2A3 take more current, maybe I can't?

Thanks

Hi J-F

A lot depends on your power transformer. Some Majestics have oversized transformers and can handle the extra load. A 2A3 draws about twice as much as a 45.
