Why Would a Negative Supply Be Necessary?

Ok, following your suggestion, the grids have been dropped to 0v and the difference (180v) between the original grid (120v) and plate (300v) has been roughly maintained by dropping the supply voltage to 300v and keeping the 33k plate resistor. Actually 295v supply would be exact and is the B+ in Pete Millet's schematic.

We now want to have the cathode at 5v (+5v relative to the grid and -175v relative to the plate). Couldn't this be accomplished by simply replacing the 18k resistor with a 720 ohm resistor?

Or am I missing something here?
