I don't disagree with you, its just that OldTechFan96 said he wanted to get the voltages as close to spec as possible. But if you have checked the usual suspects and an anode reads 210V and the circuit says 200V, its probably well within spec.
The OP said that the HT supply reads 220V against a specified figure of 206V or 213V depending on whether MW or FM was selected. That's fine.

He also said that some voltages were up to 60V low. Given that the highest voltage in the set is around 220V, that's not OK and needs further investigation.

Let's wait for the OP to post some actual voltage readings, then we can suggest what might be wrong.
