Default Cossor radio repair

Hi. My brother was asked to repair an early Cossor 1930's radio recently which he managed to get working. However, it became intermittent and the cause of this became difficult to trace. Before this occurred he had to buy a replacement R.F valve from a supplier in Europe, and this turned out to be the fault. The heater wire inside the glass envelope had not been connected to the end of the terminal, but instead was left un-soldered inside. The supplier did not accept returns, and any way it was too late to return the faulty valve.
Has anyone else experienced similar events?
Cheers
Mike
