I've been lucky... only had one tube short on me. Was a 35z5 rectifier in a late 40s radio. WOW it really got my attention when that thing shorted!
Mike, you can develop a heater to cathode short, which would let your AC filament current get into your B+.
For your Silvertone, you could probably do good with a 2 or 2.5 amp fuse after the power switch.
Your schematic just went to the mail man. It's on its way.
