Check output transistors.They generally short from collector to emitter. The bridge rectifier may be faulty ,or even the mains transformer. I would disconnect the ht plus and minus voltage from one driver board at a time. If this cures the problem,reconnect the driver/output stage boards one at a time . Once you have isolated the problems fix the faulty channel, or get it repaired if you unable to do it yourself !
