In digest 3301, P.J. Homer writes, in part:

<<  3,300K at 12 volts but can be
 over-run to about 14 volts to give 3,600K. >>

Hmm, how about dropping the voltage a bit to give 3200K?


PJH continues:

<<   My old photography notes say that a difference of 150K to 200K is enough
 to a show a cast in the final result so 3,300K should be OK with 3,400K
 photoflood film and 3,200K with photopearl.    >>


Good point but there is a definate scarcity of 3400K films left available.  
The last one I am familiar with, Kodak Kodachrome 40 (KPA) was discontinued 
some time ago.

3300K is equally "wrong" for 3200K or 3400K films so it might be worth a shot 
either way.  Besides, "correct" colour is highly subjective so who can say, 
without trying, which will be most pleasing?
