I needed to replace one of the EL-509 power tubes in my Transcendent OTL (no complaints I bought the unit in 2001) and since I have a collection of 30-40 "NOS" (LOL) tubes I started to replace them all. However I am finding that the plate cap rubber/plastic sleeves that grip the cap onto the tube anode are crumbling/rotting and will no longer grip. So I ordered batch of 16 1/4" ceramic replacement caps from AES. I can solder the replacement caps onto their respective connecting wires no problem, but anyone have additional advice for tube replacement effort? thanks, LT If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs! |
