OK so I finally finished recapping the radio and went to plug it in and something made a sizzling noise in the radio and it started smoking so I quickly turned it off and unplugged it and took it apart to see what happened and nothing looked burned inside the radio, all of the filter caps were fine (they none of them were reversed) the 1N4007 Diode still looked good and it wasn't reversed and like I said nothing else looked burnt inside the radio, component wise.

The clock and the neon pilot light still work but the tubes aren't glowing so I don't know if maybe a tube failed or what, but either way its kind of got me stumped because nothing inside the radio looks burnt and none of the stuff that I thought of that could of caused that issue was the cause.

Any ideas as to what could of happened?

See photo below for the finished recap job.
