You are going to kill the tubes prematurely. Working on a similar issue
here- the alternatives were using the 12.6VAC tap to build a DC supply (12.6
x 1.414) & then regulating it down to 13.5VDC. Alternatively, get a Hammond
115/14VCT, 28VA transformer 166L14 & a .33 ohm dropping resistor. If you
need the transformer/R let me know- I ordered them Thursday from Mouser &
then changed my mind (for other reasons) & opted for a new B+ transformer
which has a 13.5VAC filament tap.
