1 valve shorted out ,now low distorted output ,output transformer or other componenent ,any help on what to check would be greatly appreciated many thanks.

Tubes / Valves All about our sweet vacuum tubes 🙂 Threads about Musical Instrument Amps of all kinds should be in the Instruments & Amps forum
And
Instruments and Amps Everything that makes music, Especially including instrument amps.
Pull the power tubes and check voltages at each power tube socket. Important to have B+ voltage at BOTH plate and screen pins at each one. Also verify bias voltage at control grid pin. I am too lazy to look it up, so I forget if there are cathode fuses in that model, but verify the cathodes are grounded at each socket.
Failed power tubes often take out a screen resistor when they fail.
