I use Cardas Quad Eutectic exclusively, not because I believe it helps Sopranos or Bassoons, but because it melts rather quickly, flows nicely, and cools shiny. Not expensive for a hobbyist; $45 for a 1/2 lb. that lasts years.
The sockets are my new favorites with a death grip on the pins, Belton. Inexpensive, decent sized 9 Pin holes, even for TCSS, and a good color to go with black top plates. The total package.
I immediately suspected the bias supply which checked out, then the Taiwan copies of the Western Electric meters and their mechanical connections, fine, then the 8 Pin connections. No globs, no runs, no errors.
Mr. Duttman, you helped out with this design as you do so many others, thank you, and I have to say how disappointed I am at it being briefly out of service. With the EF86 Triode wired, no NFB, and these Gold Lions, it's as close to single-ended goodness as a push -pull design can be....and 25 times more powerful than my 45 amp!
