Acked. I am going to double-check and make sure I am using the 125V tap and not the 115V tap on the transformer.
As for tube life, it isn't as if this will be a daily driver or be used to the point of abuse as it was before...in my care, it will enjoy a "life" of ease in its retirement, and will only be used occasionally.
