One touch of the wrong wire may give you a good jolt between 300 to 700 volts! With a schematic diagram, you could see exactly where the wires go.So, be careful, work slow, and when in doubt, come on back and ask for advice. High voltage goes thru the "Field Coil", thus making an electromagnet (unlike modern Permanent Magnet speakers) and acting as part of the filter to smooth out the current. There can be high voltages going thry those wires, as part of the speaker is part of the power supply system. As mentioned before, it can become an unsafe thing to do, for the radio, and especially for you, or your home. OR any other guesswork when it comes to wiring. One word of advice, please never do what you did to the speaker plug again, without knowing what you are doing. Of course a dead tube would need to be replaced. In fact, many times tubes will be lower on the list of priorities of something being wrong.Usuually it is the caps that need to be replaced first. Forget about Radio Shack though as they would not have what you need.Simply replacing tubes may not fix the problem. Dave is very reasonable and ships very fast. Filter caps are not expensive at all, and with a little guidance, you should be able to replace them yourself, once you know what you are looking at.Some of the members here use Just Radios to get their capacitors.
