Quote:The base is loose, as is the top contact so I dont know...

You can re-glue the base as well as the top cap with a drop or two of glue. Then you can heat up each tube pin and flow in some fresh solder. That would eliminate a flaky connection at one of the tube pins. Also try lightly tapping the tube when testing, especially when testing for shorts.
