Mike,
The next step is to replace the filter capacitors. You should replace the line filter capacitors item 68, if shorted, you could have a hot chassis. Also replace capacitors 48, which if leaky can damage the output tube or the output transformer. Bad tone control capacitors can also damage the output transformer. After these capacitors are replaced, you can begin troubleshooting the radio without too much worry about damaging other components.
