Default EBC33 valve

Hi folks,
While in the process of refurbishing my Bush DAC90 I collected some valves to try out. Not having a working valve tester I thought I'd just do a quick heater continuity test on each of the valves. They all checked out okay except for an EBC33 which was open circuit, or so it appeared! On closer inspection I noticed there was no solder on the bottom of the valve pins. Pushing my multi-meter probes into the ends of the heater pins, to touch visible wires, gave me a continuity reading!
Is it possible that Mullard just forgot to solder the pins? All of the other valves I collected together for the set have soldered pins!
Regards,
David
