Ron, I agree with all the previous suggestions: poke around with an insulated tool (or chopstick from the Ferdinand Wok and Go), gently tap tubes, check grounds, grid caps, tuning cap (including grounds and grommets), etc. Since this was worked on previously I'd pay particular attention to solder joints that you did not redo also. Good luck and keep us posted.
By-the-way, that's the way it always seems to happen; the radio plays great on the bench for 3 days, then as soon as it's all-together and you're demonstrating or showing it off a problem or intermittent shows up
