Unfortunately for me it seems the intermittent is on the inside. All of the pins appear to be soldered well and tight. Thanks for the input.
73, Rick/K5IAR Does the pins or socket contacts look like they got over heated? Any solder dropped out of the pins? I have read about resoldering pins but the plating eventually is gone so the solder won't stick. Even so too much heat could compromise the pin to glass seal. If that is the case of soldering, I would try silver soldering if you could get in there and do it fast with a high wattage iron. Just what I have read online, no experience personally. If indeed that is the failure, make sure you run better cooling on the sockets when you do repair it or replace both the sockets and tubes so the contact to the pin is absolutely perfectly clean and super tight.
