Use your multimeter to test what voltage is coming out of your outlets (set to AC voltage! Don't want to trash that new meter too quickly....) if you are getting something like 125-130vAC that could be enough to bump those voltages up a little, especially around the rectifier. I am listening to a '35 Atwater Kent right now, and when I did a cursory check of the voltages, B+ was a bit higher because of the higher line voltages, compared to what this thing was designed for in '35 (115vAC).
Which meter did you get? The $3 cheapie or the $17 "supreme" model? Don't forget, NEVER try to test resistances while the radio is under power-it probably won't kill you, but it sure will destroy your meter. Don't ask how I know this!
