From your numbers, I'd say that your rectifier is good and the filter caps do not appear to be shorted.

I'm not surprised with the fuse replacement, I've seen worse.

A point regarding your readings. When you say it drops to 0, do you actually mean that it rises until it gives the same meter indication as when the two meter leads are not touching anything? Or does it actually lower in value until the meter indicated the same as when the two meter leads are directly touching together? This is a very important point for us to communicate clearly as there is a huge difference between a dead short and an open connection.

If you plan to fix a few different amps, you might want to at this point look into building yourself a light bulb limiter. It will help you to troubleshoot your amp and to save you from having to replace dead fuses and new parts while you investigate the problems.
