For intermittent things...I have a rule: if you have all good tubes, full recap and socket cleaned, it should just work.
Oh...the miniatures, if old, might need some pins cleaning.
Of course, cold solder joints and cracked resistors - could be revealed by light tapping with some plastick stick.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
