6X5 tube blew out.
#1

I have an new problem. Recapped 42-380 Philco. Including electrolytic caps. Had it on bench and have been playing it for several days on and off, worked good no problems. Decided to put it back into the cabinet and hooked up antenna leads. Turned on, it played for about 2 min. and it quite when I looked in back 6X5 tube was glowing blue unplugged unit imeadiatley. pulled tube and checked and of course it reads bad now. Only other thing I could find was transformer was quite hot. A quick plug in confrimed other tubes still lite as does the dial lights. Ordered another tube and hope that was the problem. Or should I be looking for anohter reason for this to have happpened.
