AGREED! The solder connections are #1 on those sets. That means every tube on all PC boards, and all of the places where the PC board is mounted on the metal tabs must also be resoldered. I would start with that, and also you could very sparingly spritz the tube pins with tuner cleaner and wiggle them to make good contact.

You didn't damage the picture tube, based on what you said.
