Just some thoughts... when you did the recap, did you disconnect and replace the existing electrolytics, esp 61, or did you bridge them (put a new cap across the terminals)? I agree with pulling the rf tube to try. Could be shorted. It'd be a quick, simple test. The diagram shows 105 v on the grid of that tube. Also, does this radio use the cloth covered wire or the rubber wire that deteriorates? The wire could be shorted to ground where you cant see. Sometimes a short or overload wont show up until power is applied, as in, it may check ok with the meter cold, but when the voltage hits it, or the tube warms up (and starts to conduct), it pulls things down.
At least back in the day, they put way more smoke in these things than they do now!
