Well after having a closer look there isn't enough bias on the 47. Only about -4v and it has 260v on the plate. Transformer is rated @ 40ma. Measured the total HV current and it was 46ma. So what I did was remove the hv ct from ground and put in a few resistors. What did was give me a tap so I could come up with -15v for the 47 tube bias and it lowers the total hv. As it stands I got it down to 36ma total and the hv is about 190v.
Overall I'm happy with it. It still runs a bit warm but isn't unconformable to touch. Audio sounds good and clean with plenty of volume.
