Don’t power it up again to check voltage! There is likely a short to ground that you must identify and remedy first. Do some ohm meter tests first.

Since you apparently have the Sams folder now, how about checking out the resistance readings chart on page 8. For starters check the resistance from the 5U4 filament pins(2,8) to chassis ground. Chart says there should be approximately 22,000 ohms there.
