For now lets hope the transformer is ok. I'm not familiar with that model, but think the rectifier tube or one fo the filter caps is shorted. You will need to limit current to test. I would set up a dim bulb tester (bulb in series with the radio). You can then see if pulling the rectifier tube helps (this disconnects the b+ winding from everything else). If that doesnt do it, try unsoldering the filament winding.
