I'm thinking about adding a switch to switch cathode cap values between 10uf and 22uf. I know that you removed the + end from the board and wire it to the switch.

I have four cathode caps and would like to run them all from the same switch. Can I wire the 4 leads of each + end to a single lead, then run that single lead to the appropriate tag on the switch?

I'd have two sets of these. One set of 10uf, and one set of 22. If I can wire a master lead to each set of values, I'll only have two wires coming to the switch instead of 8.

I think it may be better to connect common grounds to the switch.

Hmm. So the + end would connect to the tube and the switch would connect one cap or the other to ground?

Would the master lead work? I don't see why it shouldn't, but want to ask.

I cant see connecting all the +ve ends that are supposed to go to different tube pins. Unless I got you wrong here. But the common point for all is ground. So you can use a 'master' lead as you describe. Draw it out on paper.
