Sorry, should've been clearer. In tracing the line between L34 and the associated 100uF cap, there are no visible fuses and everything has continuity. All the diodes test good, and I run continuity tests on all the wires to see if one of them was meant to work as a fuse. If they are, then none are broken.

Right now the cord is locked into the back of the cabinet, so I haven't been able to run any tests to see where the B+ breakdown is. I'm going to guess I don't, though, since there's no life beyond the filament string. My next step is going to be freeing that cord so I can start doing voltage checks with the set on.
