The innards of that AK 20 Big Box set
#10

Should I add a small resistor to the 22 terminal to bring it down to 22.5? I have a fear of hurting a 201a tube.

No, you should be fine with those voltages.  The 23.5 will probably drop a little when you hook it up anyway.  Back when the set was new those voltages were not that precise because of the batteries, eliminators, chargers, etc..  I would verify the A voltage going to the filiments before hooking up the power supply.
