You should not be powering it up. I only said measure resistances, not voltages. You are not doing your tube and transformer any favours when you powerr it up with a short for the load.
It looks like your 8uF second cap (the 45, I think) is shorted.
Disconnect everything from this cap, confirm the short is right across it and is not present on the wires that solder to its "Plus".
Then replace it.
PS. What kind of caps did you use for teh replacements?
Mfr, exact P/N if possible, voltage/capacitance.

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.
