Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: Loose tube socket

For 7 or 9-pins, use a stiff narrow tool such as a large sewing needle, stick between sides & gently squish grips together (prying too hard will flake off bits of a phenolic socket). Same procedure for octals 'cept tool possibilty is greater owing to the larger size. Also, simply manually twisting tube in that socket while checking will provide electrical contact. Utilize this asylum's Search function, where lots of previouly posted & archived info resides on this subject & more. Even a single word (or less) suffices as text when inserted into each forum's Text-to-Find box at upper right.
