The old tubes used pure lead for soldering wire to the tube base. It could be difficult to remove old stuff without heating too much. Instead of re-soldering the best is probably to first de-soldier competetelly using flux and pump and then cleanup wire and change base to octal.A solution would be to resolder these tubes and also to solder directly the tube on the adapter.
