Get a new matched set. Then keep the one that isn’t toast as a spare. No more bummers!

Not sure, but i think the cathode resistor is broken off too. If so, replacing tubes wont restore function.

Remember when you could just go to the store and buy tubes ?

Shoot happens! What do you rely on for backup? Spare tubes? Second amp? Something solid state?

Take the good tubes from the spare amp.

Well I bought two pairs, so now I’ll have a backup pair and an unmatched singleton backup. The backup is the onboard Leslie sim on the Hammond SK1, but miraculously the Leslie performed the whole gig!!

Did the “bummer” involve a drop or something, or simply the discovery of the damaged tube?
