Well. I cleaned and resolidered and pushed and prodded and I can get it working for 20-45 seconds and then "pop" it goes out.

Interestingly... I cant get it to play again unless I shut the radio off for a few minutes. Its almost as if the tube goes out after it hits a certain temperature. Once I get it playing and it goes out I can't get it going again without turning the radio off then on again.

The ground on the cathode looks solid...wires are intact and firmly solidered.
