oopsie!

Update, I re-cleaned all the contacts on the tubes and turned it on. I jiggled the 6Q7G tube and the noise stopped. jiggled more and back came the sound and the vibration. I of course don't have another 6Q7G but it tests good on all settings. The base is loose, as is the top contact so I dont know...
