I don't know about this particular model, but the Fryette stuff I've seen has a bias adjust on it. That said, if it's been red plating a while then the tube is toast. It may be worth swapping the tube with the other in it's pair to see if the red plating stays with the tube or the socket. If it's the tube then it's just a dying/dead tube; if it's the socket then something a bit more fucky is going on.
Where did you get the amp from?

This is what it says in the manual regarding bias:
Power and phase inverter tubes are mounted horizontally near the back of the unit. The power tubes are factory biased for optimum performance. No provision for internal or external biasing is provided. To insure that the Power Station will remain within safe temperature operating limits, the bias must not be modified or tampered with. Doing so will immediately void the warranty. Tube types are factory selected for superior performance, consistent tone quality and reliability. Power tubes are factory tested and matched. For best performance, replace only with factory recommended tubes.
The other tube seens to be redplating slightly as well however. I bought it used aon another forum. My first PS100 had a bad PI tube, now i get this one and its redplating
Oh it just has two power tubes! I'd swap em over just to see if it's the tube or the socket though. It would suck to immediately red plate a fresh set of big bulbs if it was an amp issue.

yeah only 2 6550's. ok ill try that. now to get to the tubes, so many screws to remove lol
That's good news as far as having dead tubes go. If it followed the socket then that would indicate either something screwy with the bias supply to the socket/bad solder joint or a leaky coupling cap. The other tube is probably ok enough to keep as a spare.
