From the top of the socket, I insert the end of a metal Dental pick into the edges of the socket tang. Then, bend the tangs in, gently, on each side.
Power off. Be sure to discharge any residual voltage from the main PSU caps before inserting the metal dental pick.

But on a good note, the hum is now equally loud on both channels.
It's the a good loud hum. Seems it really did need a pin tightening anyway.

The RCA is still quiet, in the same socket?
Yeap, so is the Bell & Howell and Zenith I switched over from the phono section. In June I'm going to try some tubes Jim recommended. I'll post any interesting findings.
thanks

I actually have one of those. And no I'm not a dentist. Just a hobby - kidding!
Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow. I thought I was going to have to take the bottom off and crimp the tangs. I know Mike cleaned the HECK out of this amp. So pin dirt and corrosion wasn't high on my list.
thanks again
charles
