[TenTec] ooops!

[Art Trampler]

Thank you. It'll be something to look into this weekend. There was no strong
smell; ha, my XYL could not smell it at all, so maybe I imagined it.

This weekend it is!

Art,
I would not think a tube would have a smell if it arced, unless it was an
external arc at the pins.

My bet would be a capacitor having shorted, such as the one from the final
active devices to the band tune network.  Or it could have been a capacitor
elsewhere.  Of course, if a strong burned smell, look for arced insulation
or a burned resistor.  A magnifier and strong task light can be helpful in
crowded circuits.
