desert dweller, hi. As long as your tech is going to do the rework on some tube pin to board connection have him do them all. It won't take much bench time ($) - maybe a second or two per joint - but is a wise thing to do. Intermittent solder joints are the bane of otherwise nice designs where circuit board type tube sockets are used. I understand your frustration. These things happen. I don't think it was part of the design plan. You can blame the lead based solder all you want. I haven't used any lead bearing solder for 15 years or so. Pb/Sn solder can crystalize over time and cause big trouble. Circuit board tube socket joints are particularly vulnerable as they are subject to both mechanical and thermal shock. I hope the surgery goes well and solves the problem.
