Once had a six tube Stromberg Bakelte set, had been serviced but did not play well, somebody had swapped a glass for a metal tube. When inserted a metal at the advice of a friend played much better.

So in a higher tube count set could have all kinds of issues if tubes got glasss/metal swaps.

Good luck.
