Well, we're surgeions on this stuff. Right?
Surgeons are practitioners. Right?
We're practicing. Right?
Is is said only surgeons can say this.
I think we fall into that category....
"OOOOPPPSSSSSS!"
Leave out the other fancy words that follow, of course!

Be cautious when subbing same type tubes with another, as some voltages on the filaments aren't always the same, some may require 1/4 to 1/2 volt lower or higher.
Just because of the design.

I don't see how changing a tube could cause a capacitor to blow.
Maybe if the fil. was burned out......
