Has anyone ever used a power transformer as a substitute in a radio, that had a little higher high voltage secondary than the original, and replaced a few key resistors to bring the d.c. supply voltages back in line to what they're supposed to be?

I'm curious about doing this with the 39-6 C I, and replace resistors, (part numbers) 19, 23 and 24. Also maybe insert some resistance in the output transformer / output plate connections for the 41 tube? Has anyone done this successfully?
