Thankyou Heriberto and Edward, but I have the schematics and I confirm that
the 350V are ok. It comes from a 120 0 120 transformer rectified in full
bridge. 240*1.41 ~ 340V. The capacitor is rated 350V so it's the right
voltage. The center tap of the transformer is used to have ~ 170V to ground
for the plate of other tubes, by sharing two of the 4 diodes of the bridge
for 340V.
I never see such configuration... curious method for saving components
Anyway, that voltage is also ok, measured only +160V, but with all tubes
working.

Yes, 6JS6C could be used to 1000V, if I recall correctly, it's used such
way in a old yaesu 1000W linear amplifier, in a quartet.
But theoretically, also with +350V (say, 200VRMS) and a 125mA measured
current, the power should be at least 30W. In reality, despite the theory,
the measured RMS voltage over the cap while transmitting is more like
100V than 200, so no power.
