"There is static and sometimes a even tick tick tick tick. like maybe 2 per sec., then there maybe a very fast 4 ticks in a row. Comes and goes. Much worse on one tube I put in,"
You're right, that doesn't sound like RFI. If you've looked at the circuitry and don't see anything shorting, it might be time to retube.

Two sets of tubes have the same problem. The new old tube was way worse so I don't see it as a tube issue unless I'm missing something. T
Did any of the tubes get angled in a socket when the amplifier fell? That can loosen the pins. Check to be sure they're all tight, and I think you should probably also clean the sockets as Dave suggested above.
