RE: Advice on safe troubleshooting method please

With this sort of problem, one method I like to employ is to apply power slowly through a variac, closely monitoring AC current draw with a kill a watt. And checking voltages. If something is drawing too much current you should be able to isolate it and figure it out. This is an easy way to find bad components without destroying good ones.

Don't overlook that it could also just be a bad tube.
