Rebel 30 head: Fuse blew and R24 resistor (470ohm) fried

Was playing fine. Turned it on, heard a pop. Smelled a whiff of smoke. Pulled the chassis and of course the 315mA fuse was blown, but also one of the resistors coming off a power tube was cooked. Can't read the bands, but it looks to be the same as the other power tube, so would be a 470 ohm fuse (a bias resistor?). I am going to replace it and put in a new fuse and check each power tube (I have blown power tubes before - a common issue, I understand). Should I check for anything else?
 
replace it with a have watt resister. the screens mite be shorted out. you should check out the rest of the bias circuit. the bias filter cap should be replaced. the cap hook up is in reverse to groung
