Hi,I would venture to say that the stock current production tubes have marginally greater diameter pins than the NOS tubes. This has loosened the sockets for your tube rolling. Additionally, I find that the chinese tube sockets are nowhere near as good as good old american micanol sockets for spring tension.
With the unit unplugged and capacitors discharged (if you don't know how to do this...don't) use a dental pick to gently pry the receiving pins of the sockets tighter. Problem solved. If you go back to current production USSR tubes plan on doing this again if you tube roll.
Good luck
