Loose tube sockets...

[jumpnblues]

...my Victoria Pro's power tube sockets are kind of loose. Does this need to be addressed? Can they be tightened? How? Thanks for the advice.

I use an INSULATED dental pick to tighten the sockets.
Be sure to keep one hand in your pocket.
It works great.

Wait....The tube is loose in the socket? Or socket is loose in the chassis?

Which?

I'm going to guess the tube socket is loose in the chassis?

Pretty common amongst certain amps. I've seen 70's Oranges and HiWatts have this issue. Don't think it's really a problem though.

The socket is loose in the chassis.

Cant you tighten the screws?

I thought they were either soldered or riveted in. I'll check again.
