Have you t ried to see if the grid cap needs re-seating? Touch the grid cap with a plastic rod (anything plastic), see if the cracker appears. That owuld mean it needs re-soldering. It could be either tthe tube's cap, or the lead cap, or both.
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.
