RE: Update

IMO/IME, You would be better off going for a DC 45 final circuit and using something like a Triad C56-U as an input choke to get the B+ a bit higher.

For the cap coupled final, you will need to drop more voltage off the rectifier somehow for lower B+ for the 45 plate, then decouple for the 26 driving stages.

I have done that before with a big power resistor and cap off the rectifier. Or with a power resistor in series with the primary HOT lead on the PT.

The major issue is the HV secondary of the PT in your circuit.

It is better suited for a DC 45 final.

Do you have another PT with a lower HV secondary voltage?
