The filter caps are what stores energy and can have considerable voltage after it's turned off. The circuit will drain this energy quickly IF the tubes have had a chance to warm up. Turn it on and off immediately and the caps can store that energy for a LONG time. Clip your meter across the main filter cap and try it. Whenever you're about to reach inside a radio, it only takes a few seconds to check for voltage first... that's what I meant - if there's any doubt DON'T until you've checked for voltage.

Ok...in other words clip black meter lead to B-, red to positive of filter cap with set off to check stored voltage in the filter cap. If there is stored voltage, seems like I could turn unplugged set "on" to drain stored voltage?
Tom, you've helped connect the dots some for me, thanks a bunch
Fisherdude, thank you so much in advance for your time!
