Thanks all for the advice. Turns out it definitely was a bad tube. Soon after posting I turned the amp on to change over the tubes and a minute after there was a loud bang and a flash from inside the amp followed by a very nasty burning smell / smoke leaking from the amp. One of the tubes had gone completely.Next thing is to find a good engineer to take a look and see if it's terminal or not. Sadly I suspect it is. In retrospect wish I'd exercised more caution but at least I won't make the same mistake twice!
