Hope that you did not blow the 1L6... these tubes are scarce and expensive.

Since you found one section of the electrolytic to be bad, I would replace the other sections as well... if the "D" section of C-1 (200 uf) is shorted or is very leaky, excessive filament voltage would be applied to V-5 (3V4). C-39 (.1 uf) is also between the filament string and ground, and if shorted or very leaky, excessive filament voltage would be applied to V-5 (3V4), V-3 (second 1U4) and V-2 (1L6).
