Are you telling us that you DID NOT replace the paper caps? This is a mistake and I think we've been repeating this here at this forum ad nauseum - DO replace ALL caps.
Especially (if you feel lazy to replace all tube caps) those that are there to decouple power voltages (B+ and such), as those if shorted will cause burns. But it does pay to replace ALL.
