Thanks Kai.
An update. All ten supplies are now working and in spec, sort of...my biggest problem now seems to be fluctuating line voltage. Today I am at 121vac. I have found that some of my units have a 110v tap and others at 117v. My procedure is switching between the high (127) and low (110 or 117) tap and swapping mics between all ten PSU's and by doing that, I am getting all of them within spec. I have also found that these need at least 30 minutes to warm up and stabilize. Thanks for all your help, I have fallen in love with these mics! Although I am blessed with all of the great ones,  (251x2, U47x2, M49, C12x2, C24) and they all sound amazing, something keeps pulling me back to the U67. Out of ten, there are four that are just outstanding but only when compared side by side and by very minute differences. Any of them alone are amazing.

Your mains voltage seems to be on the high side, even a bit out of standard.

Maybe your supplier can do something about that, switch to another transformer tap for your individual household supply, if exists.

For the tube’s heater supply:
In general little undervoltage is more preferable than overvoltage, if you can’t get it stable.

Anode voltage (the high one) is uncritical.
