You don't need a scope if you see a significant voltage problem.
You don't need to disconnect any items as this would turn off other items and drive
the 130v up higher as you have stated. Something is already not working, open resistor,
tube off, open coupling transformer.... you need to do plate voltage checks on the circuits
listed above that process the signals you are lacking. Look there first.

And be sure r29 is the correct value, 2.5k or 2.6k don't matter, but making a mistake
like 1.5K is not good.... just double check correct value.
