So what happens if you select the appropriate DC range for your meter and measure the DC voltage from pin1 or 4 (either one of the fat ones) on the #80 tube + lead and connect the - lead to the chassis? If all is well should see about 325vdc there.
In order to have an AC volt present at the + leg of the filter caps your rectifier tube would have to be shorted. Does your 80 look angry?? Are there sparks flying around inside it??

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
