Looking at your photo of the 6J8 socket. I see pin 6 connected to the 4.7K resistor and a red wire. What does the red wire connect to?  It should only connect to the 250 pf cap, nothing else. 

Its hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the red wire connects to a terminal with more than one connection (brown wire?). The red wire should only connect to the 250 pf cap.

As John said, disconnect anything associated with the 4.7K which gets hot. Start with the red wire connected to pin6 of the 6J8 and follow it to the terminals it connects to.
