Sure, but you probably already know them!

Voltage at the plate of the tube comes from:

** Power equals voltage squared over R

R is the OPT impedance, 3000 ohms in this case. Power is a bit less than two watts, so voltage is the square root of 2*3000 or 77.5 volts. That is RMS voltage, so multiply be 1.414 to get peak plate voltage of 109.5 volts.

Since the plate choke is at constant voltage at the top, and plate voltage below, apply Ohm's law to get the current in the choke:

Current equals voltage over impedance

Impedance is the inductive reactance, 2 * pi * frequency * inductance. The BH-6 plate choke is 40 henries, so at 30Hz this is 7540 ohms, and peak current is 109.5/7540 or 14.5mA.
