1. Fix the speaker
2. Reflow the solder on the cap of the 75 tube. Mine had a 'thunder' problem, this fixed it.
3. Recap the tone control if you haven't already.

Not sure about microphonics. Try to find a shield for the 36, but you could try kludging something with aluminum foil just to quickly see if that is the problem.
