I think you need to find the cause of the low voltage (230V vs. 250-260V) and
fix that first.
The meter circuit does not change by switching the sideband. As Garey said it's
only
job is to choose the filter and the lamp.
The low screen voltage will certainly affect the plate current.
that will cause the PA Cathodes to read the correct
near zero reading rather than the 156 VDC he measured. The PLATE meter should
then read correctly. We'll see! :-)
I'm now thinking the problem is in the VOX circuitry.

Yup. It could have been installed by the owner. But being very near the end of

some of T-4XB parts were used in the
