Eric, your measurement to ground from the positive side of the 12 mfd should be practically infinite with the speaker unplugged and many thousand ohms with the speaker plugged in. You have practically a dead short on the B+ line which you must find. Lucky you have a fuse or the transformer or rectifier would have blown. Do you get the same low resistance from the + of the 12mfd to ground with the rectifier removed?
