Glad to hear it's among the living Brad. With just a bit of care and concern, the Zeniths of this era can return an amazing amount of service.
Never had an issue with socket tightness, but I've sure found most of them to be dirty...I'll clean the tube pins with a bit of Scotchbrite (red pad) douse the sockets with a blast of electronic cleaner, then (carefully) dry with compressed air. After, I smear just a dab of dielectric (sp?) grease on the pins and shove em' back in. This may have the same effect as tightening, and after considering that for a moment (wiggling the tube back and forth to free it) that might be a great place to first check if the radio isn't working, but isn't humming either.
Enjoy your K731 Brad! Seems you've earned this one-
