I just remembered when I was a kid(Im on my 30’s now) we had this old “box style” television. As it got older, there were times that a white thing will appear on the screen. You can still watch the show but its annoying. Imagine watching your TV while having a white curtain in front of it. One day, I got extremely furious because I was watching Smackdown and slap the side of the TV. Then, it returned to normal. I kept doing the same solution I discovered every time the white thing appears on screen until one day it stopped functioning. 😂

As a non professional restorer of all sorts, old tube radios share the same problem, when a filament of a tube (also called valve) breaks there’s no contact but if moved, the thin tungsten wire reconnects, sometimes partially fusing sometime not eventually needing replacement,
This is familiar with regular light bulbs.
What’s the first thing you do when a headlamp on your car is “burnt out” ? Slap it ! Sometimes it’s a fix
