I would guess an internal arc in the 300B tube caused an over-current condition thru the 83 tube. Further, the stored energy in the power supply capacitors arcing to ground was like a 'shot gun blast' in that 300B.
Some use a 50 ohm resistor in-between the last capacitor and the audio transformer to help quench internal arcs, but no guarantees of no damage in any tube with an internal arc.
