The radio works, so the tubes are good enough. The tube pins and sockets oxidize just from the air. Get yourself a little can of control cleaner or even WD-40. Take one tube out, put cleaner on all the pins using a cotton swab. Or you can put a little cleaner in a bottle cap and dip the pins in (but not up to the glass) and then plug the tube back in the socket while the pins are wet and unplug and plug back in a few times. Repeat with all tubes. Let the stuff dry for an hour before starting the radio. Should be good for a long time.
