Regarding Chris's suggestion of fusing the B+, this should only be done with
care, especially on an tube type amplifier. Common 3AG and consumer fuses and
their holders are not designed to break high voltage. In fact they may
continue to arc even when they are blown.

Various companies make high voltage fuses and their associated holders. They
are expensive and much larger that a typical consumer fuse. Also, typically
you need to buy them from a electrical or wholesale electronics supplier (you
won't find them at Radio Shack).

Just my two cents.
