You can pull the plug out a little and measure the blades or put one probe on the fuse holder and the other on the power switch of the MKIII. With normal B+ and normal 1.56VDC the tubes idle at 140ma which is approx. 33 Watts per tube. So now to get that same 33 Watts of idle dissipation with the high B+ you can't be setting the cathode voltage at the original 1.56VDC. Break out the calculator and do some math, P = V x I. Normal B+ is, according the manual picture, is 475VDC, the normal idle current is 1.56VDC / 11.2 Ohms or 140ma, 475VDC x 70ma = 33 Watts.
