I took the 6J5 out ( its a metal one), cleaned the pins and cleaned the socket with contact cleaner and a airbrush brush i got at harbor freight. Put the tube in/out 3 times wiggling it each time. Fired up the radio and no "blurp" and no distortion. I will try again tomorrow as the "blurp" was only on cold tubes, but....

Thank you! Good call!
