Tom

Did you measure the voltages relative to the Cathodes of the tubes or to the Chassis?

Also keep in mind today's readings are higher as back then the voltages were measured by a lower impedance meter which would load the circuit and lower the voltage.
Today's meters are very high impedance.
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.
