Just to reiterate from the original email:   Different tubes *WERE* tried 
(including two NOS) and loosening/tightening  the tube socket & PCB mounting 
screws.  More work on this tonight.  

Meantime, I ordered a new 7-pin,  bottom-mount-with-grounding-lugs socket 
from Antique Elex and if worse  comes to worse I'll just replace the socket.  
It is possible  that one of the socket pins has actually separated into two 
pieces, upper  & lower, that lose contact when the tube heats the socket 
and the metal  expands and changes shape.   It's rare, but I have seen it  be
fore.
 
    And I'll stick an extender in it tonight and  compare voltages top & 
bottom.
 
73/arf,
 
Paul, K4MSG
