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.
