Default Quad II question: High B+ a problem?





I recently rebuilt a couple of Quad II's from what was
pretty bad shape with parts missing etc. Everything
now works and sounds great and even looks mostly
original... except for the highish B+ Im getting.
This is the new configuration:

Rectifier tube (5AR4) - 33uF/450v - the original choke
- 47uF/450v

With 5AR4/GZ34 I am getting around 380-385v at the
rectifier.


** What is your local AC supply ( measured , not nominal) and what voltage
tap is the Quad II set to ??
