I'll check it in the morning when I get back to work and see what else I can come up with. I did ohm the power transformers several times in the board and did have continuity throughout the transformers. The windings look intact and not burned. What I can tell you is that it has battery voltage on one side and 7v on the other side.... But I'll check it as you have asked and get back to you on that...

Fyi, all checks that I have done have been with the board out of the case. Since I originally saw low voltages I pulled it and have been bench testing with no case.

I bought a cheap digital meter with the same problem.

I found if I run the selector around a few times the meter settles down to close to 0 ohms. Probably needs a bit of contact cleaner on it.

Checked like you said and no change at all. But i went ahead and redid the irf 3204 and some of them marked 0 at first then the impedance went up. I am gonna go ahead and change them. They don't cost much so I'll change them later today and retest...

alright update with this one, new irf 3205 and new irf 9204. All have been exchanged. I am still getting continuity through the rca shields and b+. I haven't powered it up yet to check voltage changes due to the continuity on the shields. Do you got any other recommendations as to what to check?

yeah, i went ahead and replaced the irf 9204's too. Maybe my number is wrong, don't have it in front of me. But almost all transistors have been replaced. The only ones I haven't replaced are the bigger ones that start with k..

9204 sounds more like a date code than a part number. Double-check and post the actual part number before applying power.

22k isn't likely a problem.
