What the grid fuse does is protect the filament transformer IMO

### IF the tube fil shorted to the grid... u may well be
correct. The CT of the fil xfmr would be tied to the
chassis... via the neg terminal of the grid meter [through the grid
fuse... then to chassis] This would short out the CT to BOTH
halves of the fil xfmr sec... frying it........ unless either a grid
fuse installed... or a fuse installed in the pri of the fil xfmr.
