I'd check those voltages on the tube socket pins with the tube REMOVED. It's possible that there's a short in the tube.
first things first DO NOT PLAY THIS AMP TILL IT'S FIXED.
360 VDC voltage in the reverb pot is not a good sign😱
it could be a short but could also be a problem with the ground = you can die.
check voltages on V4/5 without tubes and post it here.
then check voltage (without V4/5 tubes) on the reverb pot logs.
try to flip the ground switch to see if it changes anything.
there is a short somewhere and you need to find it.

I understand.... I haven't or won't try to play it like this. I only leave it on long enough to check voltages. I took out the tubes ...V4-5 tests 0 no matter which way you flip the polarity. Facing the front of the amp , the post on the left [green wire] , tests 360 VDC flipping the polarity doesn't change it. The middle post of the pot tests 0 the right post tests 0.
it's a good amp.
take it to a tech it's worth the money.
it's hard figuring out more complex problems without the amp in front of you.
it doesn't seem like a simple problem.
