Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

as usual i move amps around from home to office home etc so i can listen to mods/music
sadly yesterday while carrying the amp in a shopping bag i stopped to get some cake as its my wife's birthday this week ,i set the cake box on top of the amp its small about 4x4 and perhaps the box hit the tube while walking home 2 blocks
this am seeing the amp, tube bent to the side i just straightened it and turned it on no sound,rechecked everything for an hour its only a small el84 amp with a ez81 rec,finally checked the tube and saw that 1 pin had broken off right from the glass base and was stuck in the socket, and besides being a nice german tube, its pin 7
what can i do ?
Silence is golden duct tape is silver
