Ok, here are my valve readings taken again now I'm receiving stations and the HT is stable.

V1 ANODE 290 V DC
V2 ANODE 285 V DC
V3 ANODE 134 V DC
V4 ANODE 285 V DC
V5 ANODES 340 V AC

V1 SG 90V DC
V2 SG 90V DC
V4 SG 294V DC

The trader sheet 732 quotes that these valve readings were taken on a mains voltage of 228V .
I've measure my mains voltage into the set at 240 v. Would this account for my higher than quoted HT ? And SG? Would this work out about right using 240v and not the quoted 228V. I'm also using a DMM and not an Avo.
Many thanks,
Dave.
