Suggestions for removing broken preamp tube?

Needle nose and aggressive wiggling did the trick.

Did you get your amp going with a new tube?

I don’t have any spares (only my second amp, go easy on me lol) and just ordered a groovy tube from sweetwater.

I don’t know shit about fuck.
See the other 12ax7 thread, should have read it earlier lol. I just wanted something I can toss in there.

Ok. Just ordered a Tung-Sol as well which I’ll put in there. Have the other as a backup.

Where do you guys buy tubes? I typically open Reverb and Sweetwater first, but tube sites seem kind of endless.

Also hit up @just42dave and get some real good NOS tubes at a reasonable price. I just bought 3 Chinese square getters from him.

Get yourself some Dioxit contact cleaner as well and spray some on the pins of the tube before insert.

Glad you got it sorted.
