How bad is the damage?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Hi,
I replaced a power tube KT 77 and did not quite line up the pin. The tube popped and smoke came out the back. Any idea what might be wrong. Hopefully a fuse smoke was white with no odor.
Thanks,
Art

If it plays without issue now, most likely there is no damage to the amp. (nt) - Chip647 04:36:44 08/06/15 (0)
