Smoking Resistor Please Help

[cdmarion]

I just re-capped a Bendix model 526A chassis R1 (5 tube AC/DC) and now i have a smoking resistor. I've tried half the day to figure this out and am coming up with nothing..........so it's time to ask. Please forgive my ignorance, this is my second recap.

Before i started, the radio powered up had a loud hum and would tune in stations, although the sound was distorted.

All values of the new caps are correct, I’ve double and triple checked. The only exception is one of the electrolytics was originally a 12mfd @ 150V and i replaced it with a 16mfd @ 450V. I'm under the impression that one can substitute an mfd value as much as +100% and any voltage would work as long as it was the same or greater than the original. All caps should be in their correct places, I remove one cap at a time and replace it, so as not to get confused and mix things up. Could the electrolytic be the problem?

Now when i turn on the radio there is a hum in the speaker that is constant and does not change with volume and the 150ohm 1W R8 resistor is smoking. It looked like it had been hot before i started but did not smoke before i i re-caped. I've never seen a resistor like this one before it kinda looks like a paper cap, except it's white in color and has four color value marks painted on it. It tests 159ohm with the meter so i'm assuming it's still good. I plan on replacing it as soon a i can find one.

The 50L6GT power output tube tested bad and was replaced with a good tube before i powered it up. I'm assuming this was the cause of the distorted sound? I'm not sure yet.

I've made sure that no leads are touching and shorted and the tubes are in the correct sockets.

I've attached the Riders schematic, i'd appreciate any suggestions on where to start looking.
