I pulled all the loctal tubes and did a cleaning on all the tube pins. I scraped them with an exacto knife and emery board -- got them nice and shiny. I used a light coating of WD40 on them also. The intermittent problems are 99.9% solved. There's lot's of great info on this thread. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences -- it's very valuable and much appreciated.
