I built up the 12 to 6 volt converter. The increase in current got my regulated voltage up to 186 volts. Still a problem somewhere but the regulator circuit seems to be a good under $20 deal. I have hit the mother load with one of my old TV station engineering buddies he has a tube tester and a huge selection of tubes. Hopefully I can have the tubes tested and get some tubes from him. I sent him a schematic and he looking for replacement tubes.
