I agree 100V or even more dropout across that resistor is too much.
And it seems the 6A8 pulls the current.
I wonder how difficult it is to put a milliammeter in series with the SG of the 6A8 (only this tube, not both of them) and see what current it pulls (it looks almost like it should be 4 - 4.5mA, nd it is excessive).
Probably would not hurt to check the tubes anyway.
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.
