Hi Jeff,
I think I would start looking around my audio section. Possibly checking the primary of the output transformer. Check the field coil for shorts. Does this radio have the dreaded rubber wiring? Possible short to ground in the B+? A heater to cathode short in your 84 tube?Use your meter and start checking your B+ buss for shorts to ground. Could you have possibly read a color code wrong on one the resistors? I'm sure some of the other forum members will have some better ideas.
Hope this helps
Terry
