Should i just bite the bullet and order a fresh set of all valves?

It may not be that - there are some other possibilities, in particular you should try changing the valves first - but I've come across this one several times so it's worth mentioning as it isn't at all obvious until the cap dies completely.

It's maybe surprising that they fail since 1KV seems to be overkill for a circuit position which "shouldn't" see more than 320V, but the induced voltage from the OT when the power valves clip can be many times higher, somewhat like a car ignition circuit.
