Today I contacted some folks I know from that Ukrainian website, and Peter, the guy who administers the website, said he'd send me 5C3S tube which can go in place of 5U4G.
He also said that their exchange has new Soviet tubes real cheap so he could get some for me for very low price, which I am willing to try. Soviet tubes as I remember were not bad at all. They also have 6S4S which is 6B4, 6S2S (6J5) etc.
In the meantime, here's the tuning cap I just put through my dishwasher.
Just add some lithium grease into the bearings.

| No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up.
Yes, an internal tube short could do that too.
