RE: Scott 299B Popping after on for a while

Go on utube and search for a video on how to retighten tube sockets. Buy a dental pick kit. They are pretty cheap and readily available any CVS. Even super markets carry them.

Also these are most likely the smaller signal tubes. Do a wiggle test on one tube at a time to see if you can replicate the sound. And BINGO that's the socket giving you the trouble.

That should cure the problem.
