Sounds like a dead short on the B+ line somewhere. I would NOT run the set until you trace out the wiring and the resistor changes you made. You can blow out the power transformer.

Sounds like an error of wiring (see schematic) or improper value as suggested (see parts), a solder blob shorting socket or terminal pins, etc....

Use your VOM to find it - it should be easy to spot.
