Is there an "in spec" range for B+ on a K4600?

I did a full cap kit on a k4600. B+ is reading 130 after 15min on. Is there an acceptable range the B+ can be within or does it need to be as close to 127 as possible?
Picture seems ok but is there any long term issues with running it with a B+ value higher than the 127?
Thanks

i always recommend within a volt either way but some may allow more tolerance but i would adjust it to the 127vdc. if your pot is glued down and doesn't want to move on the k4600 then use some finger nail polish remover and a qtip on it and that usually frees it up and if you break it i stock a very good replacement pot for it on my site.

Thanks. The manual says the adjustment pot "must be locked with a sealing varnish" after adjustment. What do you recommend using as a glue?

some styles of pots a dab of silicone but for the 4600 pot a tiny dab of finger nail clear polish will work. just don't overuse it.
