You should be looking at shorts in the rectifier tube's socket, namely from High voltage transformer output to the heater of the same tube.
Another possibility - a short between the High voltage and heater windings inside the transformer. Check with ohmmeter with power off.
PS. Somewhere there likely is a short. Before turning the radio on, with or without tubes, you should check for load/etc shorts first.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
