I'm assuming that the reason why there's so much discussion about soldering techniques and practice on that page is that the tubes failed on a predicable schedule and user servicing the machine was a mandatory part of ownership, right?

Not sure if the soldering was entirely meant for the users or for specialized maintainers, might have been a mix. these things cost the price of a new car and came with similar responsibilities. The soldering techniques are to prevent bad contacts or impurities as this is sensitive measurement equipment.
