Microphonic tubes are usually ones that soon will blow.
You can tap amp chassis and if you hear tapping via speakers, your tube(s) are about to blow and you'll need to determine which ones by swapping between channels.
I would use sewing needle or similar that is able to go outside of contacting flaps and inside the socket and work on each one. Slight bending of tube terminals may also increase contact strength.
Tube that can't reach desirable bias may also be bad as well.
