It seems that the 6.3 volt heater winding is a little skimpy. Only 3 amps!
The tube count shows a load of 3.45 amps, including the dial lights.
You'd have to check the operating temp of the PT, after a few hours. If it seems to run warm, you might have to subsitute #47 dial lights to reduce to current a bit.
Depends how much reserve is built in the transformer. Hammond transformers are a great product!
