a 5K or 10K-pot will give you finer control, in the C- range needed to bias the tubes. Once, you get the set resistors closer to the ideal negative voltage. Play with the circuit-to-ground resistor's value (prolly going to be around 20-30k-ohm), until you get close to nominal C- voltage (prolly around minus 55-60VDC). Then, insert the 5k or 10k-pot.
Good luck!
