3.3K sounds right.
as for the filter choke, I do not know what "few volts" stand for but it won't drop too much. Typically around 20V, give or take.
And then again, we all think that your current consumption is small, and because of this the dropout across the choke will be small, as it is proportional to the consumption. So your choke is likely OK.
1. How are your 43-45 resistors (the big wirewound?) - are all of them OK? Can you ohm them out?
2. And, forgot to ask: have your checked all your tubes? All of them glow at least?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
