RE: What to do with 490V???

You can use the PSUD code to simulate the power supply; it will give you a good estimate of the voltage and allows various tube rectifiers.

If you need to operate at different voltages than your circuit was developed for, then some design changes will be needed to get the best performance. These things can be calculated; here is one example:

In triode mode, running higher voltage would call for reduced current if you want to retain the plate dissipation. Both of those changes call for a higher impedance output transformer. Ultralinear also calls for a higher impedance transformer than triode, if you want to take full advantage.
