I lowered the input voltage to 117 volts. The B+ now reads + 330 volts using a VTVM.. The bias reads -.68 volts..  Radio still works great.. So I guess its good for now..  I guess I will put it back in cabinet and back to living room..

Thanks all

  I think that we have found the answer as to why the B+ voltage is higher, lower current output tube. Find either a 6F6 or a 6V6 to replace the 6K6G, the 6K6G is not a direct replacement, the plate and screen current is lower then the 6F6 or the 6V6, and the heater current is also lower, the plate impedance is also wrong.
