65uF capacitor?

One question - is the 65uF capacitor really connected as shown?

Agree with others about measuring voltage across the 22k resistor, you don't want to mess with using your meter as an ammeter.

Check the manual for the meter, they can give weird readings if you're not hooked up to the right terminals. I'm sure it's fine.

I agree that the current is too high though, because the plate voltage is too low. Try and add more diodes in series, to get it to around 180-220V. With the plate voltage so low, you won't get a lot of output before the driver clips.
