You probably want a B+ of 400V. Bias at 50mA may work but you might want to go higher. The OPT primary shown is 3.2K. I think that may be a little too low for a KT88, 5K might be a better choice.

Also the KT88 is a tetrode so you won't have the wire from the third grid to the bypass cap (C5). Also you might want C5 to be a higher value.

I'm not sure about the resistor in series with the UL tap. My SE KT88 doesn't have one there.
