I think your PY32 may have an internal short which is blowing the fuses. If you disconenct its anode and cathode then you should be able to get the heater chain to work regardless. Unless a heater is open circuit or one of the heater chain decouplers is shorted. There's an additional complication of the radio/TV switch but let's hope that's OK for now. If necessary it can always be disconnected and the heaters wired in TV mode.
