slightly neurotic question from a tube newbie

Tube amps have lots of current flowing.
My advise is to NOT turn it on. Take it to a tech and have it checked out. Most likely, he/she will do exactly what Mingles (above) advised. But, loose sockets and poking around can be dangerous.

I would humbly say "no", it would not pose a problem. If on the other hand, you replace tubes all the time, then you may run into a problem with the socket becoming too loose.

Just don't mess with the tube anymore and you will not have anymore problems..If you get more nuerotic and try to bend it again it may then fail..Leave it be and enjoy......

If there is one thing that I have learned in my life...DO NOT TRY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BROKEN. LOL.

Thanks all -- this is what I get for trying to change the speaker feet at 11:30 at night! I looked again this morning and it was seated pretty tightly in the socket, just not as snug as it was when the sockets were brand new.

The only tube plans I have are replacing the stock Jolida tubes at some point!

Thanks again for helping a rather green audio junkie.
