Wow that's hot!

You're speaking of the filaments being too bright? Need to jerk those tubes and take a voltage reading at the filaments' pin sockets. If there is one winding in the power transformer that operates the heaters of only those three tubes, that winding may have a short.

Normally, instant-on sets only keep partial power on the filaments while the set is off... just enough juice to keep them warm.
