That's an odd tube, it has a tall boy GT style envelope mounted to a seven pin base, it's like someone ordered a 6A7 and Sylvania took a 6A8GT, and rebased it with a base from a seven pin adapter, explaining the brown colour, and the extra hole. Anyhow try resoldering the grid cap, and the grid cap lead on the top, that is a weak point of all of those double ended tubes even more so then the base pins. I would suggest performing some voltage checks on the tube sockets, make sure that everything is there that is supposed to be there.
Do you have a means of testing your tubes?
Regards
Arran
