Don't touch the lead from the tone control. The fact that you are not getting knocked on your butt suggests that the 243 volts that is supposed to be there is missing. The field coil on the speaker is getting hot because it is conducting too much current. Do not turn the radio back on less you risk burning up the field coil or the power transformer. Find the reason for the excessive current consumption.
