What value fuse is in the holder on the rear chassis? One would expect that fuse to go open if B+ is pulling excess current. You mentioned you don't have Sams 110, by any chance do you have Sams 101, folder 5?

When I replaced the Power Supply caps I hooked the positive leads up to their own terminals and the negative leads up to the same terminal which I then bridged over to another empty terminal next to it so I had plenty of room for all of the wires, resistors and the electrolytic capacitor negative lead that all connected to the negative lead of the Power Supply cap.
As for the fuse size I checked the fuse that was in there and it was the correct size fuse.
As for the Sam's, I believe i do have 101 folder 5 in my stash, I'll double check when I get home, as I'm currently at my parent's house for the day.
I've worked on a couple of vintage B & W tv before and this is the first one I've had any major problems with before.
