Could there be a bad connection where a ground lug is riveted to the chassis? The thing that jumps out at me is the cathode of the 27. If you are using the chassis as the reference, the 27 cathode should read zero volts. If you are using point "B" (the center tap of the HV winding) as the reference, it should read about 8 volts.

I would use a clip lead connected to a good chassis ground and jumper every ground connection in the chassis, starting with the cathode of the 27.
