Tubes Asylum

Posted by pturn (A) on July 25, 2002 at 10:30:54

I recently got an older hybrid tube pre (SF SFL-1) which someone had upgraded with over $100 of Hovland musicaps (I was pleasantly surprised). They are much larger than the originals (REL) and the biggest ones just kind of sit there flopping about so to speak ( they have very flexable insulated stranded leads).
Can anyone suggest the best way to elevate or otherwise secure these bad boys? - they will not fit against the PCB. The best that I can think of is afix them to the tops of nearby Wima caps using double sided tape but an nervy about doing this.

Thanks
