Like other have said cold solder joint sometimes using Deoxit on Q-tip clean all parts of tube sockets and base of all tubes. Dampness can also be a problem that will go away after about 30-45 minutes. David   

It's continuous. Highs are tinny, warbly. Bass cuts in and out. When you wiggle the 7G7 it seems to try to change the sound quality.
