Hi Andi, temporarily connect a 2M2 from the tube in place of the meter (or whatever the equivalent meter resistance is).
This sounds almost like the case of old radios that would burst into life for a min or so when the grid was probed with a meter as the grid leak had gone O/C and the grid was charging up with no leakage path.
