And as far as a paper cap being responsible for this goes, there are over 50 capacitors in there I'll have to check individually which will take me a while to test each and every capacitor with an ohm meter to see if the capacitor is still "good" or if it's open.

Disconnect the lead going to the 5U4 socket from the B+ circuitry. It has to be in the B+ feeds, electrolytics, grounded filter choke, even the vertical output transformer.
As stated before, the smaller circuit capacitors throughout the circuitry of the set wouldn't cause a dead short in the B+ rail.
IIRC, the B- isn't going to the chassis but is forming a low bias source.
