Okay, thanks for the heads up. I think that may be my issue. The multimeter is fine, at least. I've tested it since then and everything is behaving as far as I can tell.

I'm not seeing any voltage on my B+ (Pin 8 of the 35Z5 if I'm correct on that) and I think a few of my electrolytic sections have opened. I read that you can check electrolytics with a multimeter by reading resistance across them. If they spike once and go down to OL very quickly, they're good. If they retain value, they're bad. Two of my sections are retaining value and two are dropping, so I'll just go ahead and replace the whole thing and those two resistors.

Of course, if anyone else has any thoughts or that all sounds completely off the mark, please let me know.
