No, don't remove shielding. A transformer that runs hot will warm up fast.
I am trying to exclude a turn short, though from the behavior it is not it.
Like I said, unless someone has specific experience with this specific radio and could point you directly to the source of trouble (I do not), I would start with bare transformer (no tubes) and go from there.
Now,
1. You seem to have the input voltage switch: has it been set correct?
2. Input capacitors: are they correct value? No, caps do not draw power.
3. BTW, how do you measure your power? Kill-a-Watt or Ammeter/V-meter?

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.
