I am not sure what to do next, and I need some help.

I replaced the rectifiter tube to get the voltages up.

I double checked the wiring of my new electrolytic capacitors (C101 and C102) and they are correct.

I replaced R202. That gave me a whine in the audio that is removed with the volume control.

Now my C101 and C102 have blown. Smoke everywhere. I have two new caps on hand but do not want to replace them until I can figure out why they blew. Voltage rating on the blown caps were 500 volts.

I'm thinking I may have a short somewhere, and if so, how do I track that down.

Thanks, Terry
