I *think*...

1. Plate 2
2. Grid 2
3. Cathode 2
4. Heater 2
5. Heater 1
6. Plate 1
7. Grid 1
8. Cathode 1
9. Heater Common

As to the colour code, I was taught three versions...

Bye Bye Rosie, Off You Go, Birmingham Via Great Western.

The version that has appeared in this thread and a much worse version.
