Fuse or not...get thee a variac. I cannot overestimate is usefulness.
No full volage until you are sure of your load.
Now, without going reredaing the whole thing, you have fully recapped it?
1. Remove 84 tube, measure the folament voltage while increasing the input. If using the lightbulb in series withb the input, mesaure the voltage across the input plug and then see if your filament voltage (measure in 84 socket) is (6.3/110)*Vplug. If much less, then start removing tubes. If the condition persists, you have a transformer short or sockets' short.
We'll talk then.
