37-116 Help

I just recapped my 37-116. Ran it for about 20 minutes, everything sounded great. I heard a little pop under the chassis and said to myself--- " that doesn't sound good". A few seconds later the radio quit and a little smoke appeared from under the chassis. I found that the smoke came from resistor #121 an 18 ohm to ground. Ref.Volume #7-31-32. Any suggestions on where to start looking for what has failed?
Thanks
Bill
