   Good to hear that 6L6GCs work well at 360v in your amps. Parallelled cathode   
   resistors must result in less heat, nice solution.   
      
   My pair must be late production, serials in the 70xxx range, because they have   
   no voltage selector beside the fuse and no Bulgin power connector. Instead   
   there was just a hole for what I think had been an early IEC C10 plug. So I   
   could fit modern    
   grounded 3 prong IEC there without any drilling. It seems that Quad made some   
   different chassis configurations for different markets?   
   Im in two minds about the Jones connector. On one hand it looks retro funky.   
   On the other hand, it is less practical to use adaptors so perhaps it would be   
   best to put in phono sockets. I have already removed the internal HT   
   connections from the Jones    
   for safety.   
   The only giveaway that the amps have been modified is that I placed AC   
   switches where the fuse holders were. But they are old British chromed   
   switches and look contemporary. The fuses are now inside the enclosures.
