I'm not sure what you mean by "I set the line control to the voltage it needs to be" as as far as I can tell (I also have 600A) there is no scale on Line control pot.
If you simply cannot reach the middle, the two rectifier tubes often have their sockets oxydized which lowers Lne, happened to me twice, had to clean them. Sometimes simple yanking and reinserting the tubes does it.

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.
