I didn't even see this post. R40 is 270 ohms. It is a cathode resistor.First and foremost you have to clean and lube the bearings on the tuning capacitor.This is most important because it's the tuning capacitor's path to ground.If you did that and you changed tubes,you now need to do an alignment because if it is out of alignment,you will get the odd voltage readings you are talking about.
