This is why I tell everyone that all of the rubber insulation on the wires of the 1939-1942 Philco models must be replaced! If it hasn't dried out and started crumbling yet, it will.

A dial lamp lead shorting to ground could have damaged the power transformer. I do not know why that would cause the 6X5 to blow, however. How are the leads connecting to the 6X5 socket?
