Half Wave Rectifier

Did you mean to draw this with a half wave rectifier? If you use a full wave bridge (solid state) and terminate C2 with a 160mA load, the supply will output about 385 volts of nicely filtered B+ for the power tubes. It will unfortunately also exhibit an impedance "bump" at about 15 Hz, but this may or may not be problematic. The bump can be smoothed if you interchange the first two filter caps so that C1 = 23u and C2 = 47u.
