Terry is correct on your meter. The nice thing about them is if you have the settings wrong and blow the meter, they are cheap to replace! Your test with all the tubes out except the rectifier is not a safe test. The indication of a bright light is indicative of bad e-caps in the power supply. Don't try that test again until you have at least replaced the e-caps. Also check the rectifier for shorts.
