Mesa Dual Rectifier

I have a problem with a multi watt dual rectifier head.
It keeps blowing fuses and a rectifier tube.
Using the light bulb mains lead method, even with both rectifier tubes out of the unit and on standby it seems to be drawing quite a bit of current. No change with power tubes also removed.
Is this likely to be the large filter caps going or any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance
