Ah, then it sounds like there is heavy partial B+ short in there.

Try pulling one RF/IF/AF tube at a time also - maybe a partial internal tube short? A partially carbonized tube socket maybe? If the sockets are the thin two-layer wafer types, the leakage track can be between the wafers between pins. I've seen it. Also check the upper/lower chassis harnesses plugs/sockets for carbon tracks. B+ flows thru there too.

Everyone gets a 'tough dog' now and then.... Icon_smile
