I assume you didn't replace the rectifier tube with a solid state device. If you did, that's the answer. How are the filament voltages, are they normal? Any extra hardware on board, (remember bucking transformers can go up or down.) Is there more than one primary winding on the power transformer? Well that's a start.One more wild guess, are these radios export models originally sent to Japan or Canada?
