I think I'm narrowing it down I changed chargers I have a 10amp charger so I'm getting a bit stiffer supply. I found an old package of Archer 1000v 2.5 diodes so I wired them like you said. I get better voltages . Across the plates I get about 310 and at K pin 8 190v which calls for 240v. Now I get a lot of hum through the speaker I can get a station but the hum is overwhelming so I either have to get hold of a 6 volt battery or get the. 10,000mf cap you mention the best I have around here is 1000 mf 16v I may go to Fry's tomorrow and see what they have.
