If the transformer gets hot with all the tubes pulled, it's shorted. Most likely primary or HV secondary would have some shorted turns.

The 84 is the most likely culprit if the transformer is OK - they are prone to shorting, and it's probably the reason the transformer was previously replaced. A fuse is a REALLY good idea.
