I know, Philco used that circuit in several models, that one being one of the first. I recapped a few of the sets using the circuit, but never had that problem.

I was wrong when I posted -15 volts. I just got done measuring it and it's a bit above -3 volts. Maybe I have a power supply problem. Will do some more checking.
