On second reading it appears your problem is in the upper winding on the schematic, as you said when you disconnected the secondary the fans came on, and the fans run on the lower winding.
So if that is the case, you don't need to concern yourself with the regulators or anything powered by the lower winding right now.
So is it W103 and W104 that make the bulb go bright when they are connected?
If so, there are 3 main items running off the upper winding. The power amp IC's which run off PSU+VE and PSU-VE. You said disconnecting them made no difference so we will ignore them for now. That leaves the high voltage for the preamp tube.
Try lifting one end of R211 and see what happens.
