A weak rectifier, low line voltage, etc can all bring down B+. If pin six should have 280 volts on it, then it's about 10 percent low which is not something to worry about. If pin four should also have 280 volts on it then you're in trouble. Start by changing the rectifier and posting a schematic.

These voltages were taken with the rectifier unplugged. I was testing the transformer itself to see if it was good. Line voltage is about 123v. EDIT: Pin 4 now has 207 volts.
