Converting EL34 to KT88

[Bad-Samaritan]

I am looking at picking up an old Carlsbro 100w slave with EL34s in it. I would love to convert it to KT88's to match my head. Would this be even possible or worth it? I am assuming I would have to change out some resistors or the like. Any advice and pros and cons are welcome. Amp in question:

I would leave it EL34/6ca7 personally. Variety is the spice of life
Different breakup characteristics together greater than the sum of parts; to me a dual amp EL34+KT88 setup is likely to shine...

this. so much. nothing like EL34s in one amp and American servo tubes in the other.

Yeah, looks I will toss in a new set of el34s and leave it that way.

The plan is to run my Science Mother into a peavey 3620 cab, then line out the Mother to the Carlsbro and run that through my Sunn 412lh. Should get pretty doomy.

killer. someday when i have a need/opportunity i'm going to run my Mother and 8x10 off one output of my ABY and my V-4 and 4x12 run off the other output.
