OK, I took another look.
What I thought was a transformer (it did look like one, the contact panel and something resembling the core it was mount on) is a simple contact panel on the very power switch we wre talking about.
So....it is 220AC/DC only version.
Removing the Resistors will not help as they are only for filaments, and the B+ is directly rectified from 220V.
OK, I will have to power it up with a Variac only.
But. this is what I can possibly do. They used half-wave rectifier. I could use full wave and get higher B+. And use a capacitor to drop the volta for the filament (or adjust the resistor).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
