What to do? It would be nice to salvage this 6V6.
It was working fine, but I've been R&R'ing it with this latest build. I was
careful to only pull on the base, but was ...

General Opinion Needed:
As I am a tube-nube, I am interested in whether there is any general opinion about a "pretty side" of any particular vacuum tube. My musing arose as I was laying out PC mount sockets on a board layout and thought, "should pin 1...

I have the same taste mount sockets, I can't readily change the orientation like I could in a chassis-mount.

I don't know why I did this, but when I punched the hole for my 12GN7A tube, I made it 1". I was at Keg's the other day and picked up a pair of 9 pin sockets which are WAY too small for that 1" hole. Does anyone know of a 9 pin sock that is 1"????
