I'm in a similar situation Jeff. While I do have one tube that is completely dead and still under vacuum, I have one that has a loose cathode connection and one that is extremely weak. The loose cathode one is working right now after several hours of white knuckle tapping on the neck several years ago, but will it come loose again someday? With the few hours these sets are operated, these tubes may be good for many years to come, but I'm leaning towards taking the risk of loss during rebuild and shipping.
