As long as they are not bulging they should be O.K.
You could ask Jeremy if this is 'normal'.

After using less solder for some joints, this is fixed (both 6V and 12V tubes work again) Which parts/joints control the heater selection for 6V/12V tubes?

All components close to relay U2 and B-IC1.

All components close to relay U2 and B-IC1. Thanks, that lines up with what I experienced (i.e. resoldering some of the joints again was what fixed heater selection) Interestingly, I noticed the last leg of the B-IC1 not having solder on it unlike the other legs. Is this normal?
