... one tube was redplating. ... I can bias right at 34 mA with the bias pot at minimum. ... Should I change the 10K pot to 50K?
If you want to cool off the tube, you need a more-negative bias voltage. You can get there by making the 220kΩ resistor smaller, or the 82kΩ resistor bigger.
A 50kΩ pot would give you a little more wiggle room because it increases the total resistance of the Pot+82kΩ. But lowering the value of the 220kΩ will be more impactful.
