RE: TFA-204 300B Operating Points

3K is not the series resistance of the primary. 3K is the OPT's primary AC impedance. What you need to input, is the transformer's primary DCR which you can just measure with a DVM. That value should be anywhere from 150 to 300 Ohms as is typical for most transformers. If the primary's DCR is say 200 Ohms, there will be a drop across it of: 200R x 0.06A = 12V. You will be going from 250V down to 238V at the tube's plate.
