Stink Bugs Suck

Post by ampmike »

The bastards are trying to live in my amps,Pulled my metri plexie out to clean up some things and found four down in the guts.Worst of all I broke a good NOS el34,They were a 100 doller matched set.What do you do with the other tube now?I dont know if the west coast has these bgss but they ruined my day yesterday.Is it posible to send your tube somewhere and have them get a decent match for the wrecked one,Thanx Mikey

Hunt down the usual suspects for a possible one of a kind. People like Sgt. Overdrive, Jim McShane, KCA NOS tubes, etc. There must be a dozen or so guys of this ilk who live to sell tubes, who can be trusted to do the right thing and you don't have to worry if you send a valuable tube to them. Those are who come to mind. I know there are more out there.

Or else build a single ended amp? So sorry to hear you had this problem.
