Hi, I have a question about my Airline model 62-89 that I restored.  Two of the type 45 tubes and two of the type 58 tubes have over 400 volts plate to cathode on them.  This shows as correct on the prints and also when measured with my meter.  But the specs for these tubes say that 250 volts is max. (maybe 275). The radio works fine, but I don't want to harm the tubes, they are expensive to replace.  How does the radio work without burning out the tubes and is it ok to run the radio with such high voltages?
