lee650 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi dave I hope you or any other knowledgeable bods can help me, ive just bought a groove tubes 12ax7 to replace the one in my EBS td 650, i took the top of and the old valve seems t be in a plastic holder on a circuit board and i cant get the valve out at all, and i dont want to get too rough, i had an swr amp years ago and i replaced the valve in that, it just slipped out, but this ones a bit sturdier. If you know of a special knack with these things, id really appreciate some advice, mind you itll prob be safer to find a local tech. many thanks- lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Probably should make it clear that you have to wiggle the TUBE, not your money-maker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Glad it worked. I remember asking the same question when I put a new one in my Hartke 3500. I had to do a lot of wriggling to retube the Trace V4 recently too, all 7 of them! Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
