This is really one of those times you need a Variac to keep from blowing your Rectifier tube.
You can rig up a Solid State replacement for testing purposes but it will increase the B+ so you don't want to run it at full voltage lest you explode a shorted Cap.
If you can run it on a Variac you can feel the Caps and see which one is getting warm, or disconnect them one at a time until the short goes away.

I have run it for about 3 hours before this short so I pull electro's and am going to test them this week. hopefully it is not the focus coil.
