Can someone please help me.Have recapped the radio. Replaced the resistors. The radio starts fine for awhile but twice now the two 16 ecaps swell and start smoking. I bring it up slowly on a variac. I smell smoke and those two caps swell. What am I doing wrong? Originally there were 40s in their. Should I try that? Can some one verify that my connections are ok? I was always under the impression that the negatives if the ecaps should be connected together. This one has the negatives at different locations? Went through two sets of ecaps so far.

Thanks
Chris
