GOOD IDEAL
I alway clean all the tube pins with a brass brush when i am restoring or 
repairing a BA. It has saved me a lot of problems. also spray all the tube 
sockets. i keep a few bad tubes in a box so i can push then in and out of 
the sockets a few times after spraying.
yep extral work but i figure it is worth it
