I just did this testing. I disconnected red wire going to 80 lytic and looked for shorts to chassis ground. No shorts. I also tested to see if B- was shorted too. No shorts there either. Cannot find any shorts at all. No shorts in the audio output transformer either.

One thing I noticed in the schematics, on the selenium, the anode appears to be on the left and cathode on the right. I thought anode is usually associated with the + symbol and cathode with the - symbol. Both the RCA schematics and SAMS seems to have anode as - and cathode as +. Bit confusing.
