The best anode cap connection is to solder. The top of the terminal on the tube is actually solder. You can bend a loop in some wire and solder it in, then slide a slice of glass tubing or teflon over for insulation.

Of course, doing this makes tube rolling a biatch!


(Will you be at RMAF? I am 99 percent sure Dan is going)

  Hey Paul,
  
  I think once my rolling activities slow down I might just go with solder and a decorative insulator.
  
  I haven't even thought about RMAF yet. Now that you mention it, I might just go for it. I had a great time there two years ago (there was a great after hours party in the Guru speakers room,.. I just followed the platters of shellfish and Absolute).

    Hey, you were in the hotel bar Saturday night at VSAC weren't you?

      Yup,
      
      That was the night when Mikey kept asking "Where's Dan?"
      What a pack of characters!
