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 |

I gave them a pipe cleaner cleaning but did not try anything more. I was concerned I might do more harm than good... |
