Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions.
It's a great ol' receiver. I really like it.
I'll keep everyone posted on the progress.....

Most often, what appears to be a shorted rectifier tube... It glows and the
plates turn red.... is not the tube itself, but a shorted capacitor
somewhere in the B+ wiring. There will be no charge for this diagnosis.
