Sometimes the heaters on the loctal tubes can be hard to see. Did you turn the lights off in the room to see if they were lighting?

Get replacements for the other two caps you didn't replace. Also, check your solder joints. Sometimes a solder joint can be loose or be rubbing against another connection causing a short.

Can someone tell me what the replacement is for schematic #6 2mfd  400v paper cap? Does it need to be a safety cap?

I think the one you are referring to is a .2 mf @400v. Common replacement value would be .22 or .25mf @ 630v. No safety cap need here. Don't think they made them that large anyway.
