I have a 10 year old tube amp that was having tube noise problems. It also gave off an electrical smell after running. I sent it to the manufacturer to be fixed. Not fun @75 lbs. and shipping across country. It came back fixed, but the same problems started occurring.
Next, I took it to a local shop. They replaced all the tubes. Again, it worked fine for a short time. The noise started again after a few months.
After doing research on this forum, I cleaned the sockets using Deoxit and pipe cleaners. Some of the pipe cleaners came out black. I also used a dental tool to tighten the pin connects. The problems are now gone. No noise, no smell.
I was new to tubes and learned my lesson! Thanks for all the help!
