Now that I've swapped around the tubes a few times I can't replicate the problem. I'm leaning towards the problem being a bad solder joint or dirty tube socket. I did a quick alignment by ear and it's playing quite well now 
Next up I'm going to unmount the tuning cap assembly and replace the rotted mounts. I'll clean up the chassis more while I have it apart too. Once I get it all cleaned and reassembled, I'll do a proper alignment.
