High G2 voltage

I couldn't help but notice in the schematic the unusually high 60 volt drop on each side of the output transformer, and the resulting 375v on the screen - 75v above the rated maximum and quiescent G2 60 volts greater than the plate.

The high DC resistance of the output transformer might indicate a high inductance for deeper bass in a small transformer, at the price of greater power loss. If the quiescent current is 40mA, the DCR would be 3000 ohms plate-to-plate.
