Busted Ella (Darn- Need Troubleshooting Advice)

DIY HiFi Forum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

OK, I'm in trouble! I was just getting a great inspiration to graft my Foreplay into my Ella circuit, bypassing the SRPP preamp stage of the Ella. It seemed to work fine, until the kt88s in the right channel flashed blue one after another and then- no music!
I still get a perfect working left channel, even with my foreplay grafted. All the tubes are OK. One possible culprit may be that I was using 3 uF oil caps for coupling in the bad channel only.
My questions are, until I get my DVM back, what can I do to figure out whats wrong? Are 3uF caps too big for coupling? If so, what could have busted? Was it the Foreplay's fault? Etc, Etc, Etc,
Thanks in advance for any help!
