No. Unground the ct of the 2.5v filament winding. Reconnect the cap and the 1.6k resistor as per the original diagram. The end of the resistor that was not connected ground it. This restores the filament bias network. As it was with the tap grounded there was very little - voltage being developed on the control grid. This causes the tube to draw an excessive amount of plate current.
