RE: Question about tube clearance in shelves

Is the peg board screwed to the back? Even though there are holes in it, removing it altogether would provide more air flow. Of course then you have to deal with hiding the cables.

The other thing is make the shelves shallower, so they don't quite reach the back. I don't know if you would be comfortable cutting the antique shelves. Or the integrity of how the shelf sits on the pegs. But providing more space for a current of upward airflow at the rear would also help.

Cheers!

EDIT: I don't know the benefits of using tube dampers, coolers and rings. I have some for my signal tubes but they are still in the box. They have them for power tubes as well. That is another way to alleviate heat I would think. Then the journey of the whole tube damper debate.
