I’ve just pulled the top off a Series 5 WVB and that resistor in its meter circuit is 39k, which appears to be the same as the OP’s WVA.

The other component values in the oscillator circuit appear to be the same as the CBL which is the only Series 5 circuit I can find.

This set will give a value of ‘200’ bias with the variable resistor turned fully up.
