I doubt the meg-ohmeter will put out enough current for anything to get hot.

A few minutes ago I took some readings. Here are some examples. These checks are to ground. Pin 4/5U4=1,300 ohms, pin 6=1294 ohms,
This would be the hv windings to center tap. I am assuming the center tap is grounded to chassis. Since both measure within a few ohms of each other they are probably OK.

the lead that goes to the switch has 91,000 ohms.
That should not cause enough current draw to make the line cord heat up.

I get 1.8 ohms across the ac line with the filters disconnected.
That seems a bit low. What filters are disconnected? I would do what chad suggest. Disconnect all secondary leads and see if the problem persists. If so, then there are probably shorted turns in the primary.
