A 10% increase in line voltage will affect the hv secondary but not the
filament voltage as you mite think. See below.
120 line X 10% = 132
750 hv X 10% = 825
6.3 filament X 10% = 6.9 Still within the ballpark.
Note, most all transformer filament voltages are not what you mite think
they are. For instance, 6.3 volts could be as much as 7 volts, 13.8 could be
15 volts, 5 volts could be as much as 5-1/2 volts. This also holds true with
hv secondary. Line voltage fluctuations affect the transformer outputs,
before any regulation.
My two cents.

Can't understand that question: if filaments voltage is OK, it means that
line voltage is OK.

By the way I still have the 5U4 and 5R4. My problem is that the AC =
voltages are high (and hence the DC ones).


Is your line voltage high?
