I'd replace the needed parts (resistors and caps) and bring it up slowly on a variac while watching the current draw. If you start drawing excessive current before you get to 60-70VAC then there is some other issue.
As Mike noted, I highly doubt the vacuum loss on the tubes was due to an electrical issue, much more likely due to thermal or mechanical issues.
The 16 is a nice amp, as is the SA-100 Fisher. Both similar in sound to the Pilot SA-232. All 3 of these amps you can listen to for days without any ear fatigue...
Good luck in getter her going again.
