You have 300ma of filament current, the battery eliminator should handle it with the 5 & 6 tube jumper in position.
There's several different versions of those battery eliminators built through the years. The same firm seemed to make them all.

Assuming the filaments are in series, the string would draw only 50ma.

The portables had the tubes in series, the farm radios were all in parallel.
IIRC, in all the real large battery packs the "A" cells were all in parallel supplying 1.5 volts. Those battery packs were really large, heavy and unsuitable for portable use.
