The original caps were only 6 mFd. You really don't need much since there is both a dedicated filter choke and the speaker field coil.
Might you have connected the cap that just vented between one of the 80 plates and the resistor ?
Also check the resistance between that first terminal and the chassis.
Looks like you used all 1/2 watt resistors for replacements. Four of them should be 1 watt.
Check out this "before" photo of mine for reference. They are the big red ones on the left and one green/brown one on the right. (You can click on it for a bigger version).
