Flaky grid cap connections have definitely been a problem for me with 75 tubes, among others. After many decades, the solder joint to the grid lead can become intermittent. Agree with others it's a good idea to resolder them.

I even bought several spare 75s "just in case" and now have more than I'll ever need, so let me know if you want an extra.
