220V appears to be downstream of the field. I bet the field drops a good 50-100V, so B+ is probably in the 300V region as you'd expect it to be. That votage divider resistor in the power supply is sure old school! I really do wonder how it sounds.. 1930s guitar music is definitely interesting in it's own right.
