RE: "Tube Problems" That Aren't Tube Problems

Hi Rod,

It's a pleasure to support my fellow inmates when I can!! Thank you for your kind words.

On your whistler - be sure the pins and sockets are really clean (I know, 9 sockets makes for a lot of work), and if it still does it it's likely tube internals at fault. It apparently takes a few minutes to thermally stabilize. As long as you don't mind it making noise during warmup don't worry about it. But if it is a hard to find tube I'd look for a spare ASAP - it may eventually start making noise all the time.
