Well, being somewhat lazy I thought I would first try Codefox's comment that of course I had cleaned all tube sockets. Duh, well I did now and so far it is running just fine for 60 minutes. Of course the garage is now colder than you know what. Waiting for another second detector from Gene, I guess just because one of the diode section is really weak. So far so good. Will post some pictures of the chassis and cabinet soon. Cabinet needs some serious GoJo and wax.
Thanks for all the ideas and thanks Codefox for reminding me of some the basics which I often forget. I guess it may act up again so I will try an extended few hour run in the morning.
