Russian 6C33C A Ticking Tube?

Posted by megasat16 (A) on April 20, 2015 at 13:13:05

I mean laterally? Does it even make a tick tack - tick tack sounds a few times after powering on till it gets warm (for like the first 10-15 minutes)?

And it will even make that "tick tack" sound after the amp is shut off till it completely cools down for like 10 minutes?

It only happens till the tube warms up and cools down and not all the time or anytime in between.

I am thinking about replacing the old sockets with a better sockets but I am not sure if that ticking is from the sockets or the internal of the tubes. It looks like the massive filament structure is ticking as it warms up or cools down.

So, what's your experience with this 6C33C Russian's Jetfighters Regulator Tube?
