Never came across an intermittent microphonic output tube. But sorry to hear, and hope it's not the WE 300B causing it. I also have a pair of WE300B's in my amps, one of which have a loose base but, knock on wood, still works fine.
Regarding reasonably priced new 300B's, you can also look into JJ - still have a pair that is strong after many years and sounds great. The JJ 300B's have a nice heft to the tube with the thick glass and ceramic base.
I have no heard the EH Gold's, but besides the WE's, I have various Chinese ones (Shuguang Treasure, Sophia globes, etc.), the JJ, and the Genalex.
Personally I would go with either the JJ or Genalex. Good luck.
