Today's Lesson From Your Friends at Ill-Advised Physics:
Repairing Vacuum Tubes!
They _say_ you can't repair vacuum tubes. Well, _I_ just did!
Though I can't advise anyone else try it. And it didn't work very well. So tomorrow night we're going to see if one can solder pins back on a 60-year old vacuum tube and get better results, since it's already all torn up anyhow.
And, as a responsible business person, I feel also I should say: the tubes in all new Ill-Advised Physics amps are new, unbroken, non-repair-requiring tubes, ready to rock n'roll.
Furthermore, without equivocation or qualification, I can categorically state that sixty-year old Vacuum tubes should not be modified at 05:30 in the morning, when one is heading out the door for one's day-job, and one cannot find their glasses to see up close, and is otherwise in a hurry. Because that then necessitates the need for vacuum tube repairing. Correlation is not always causation, but trust me, we've got a 100% lock, in this case.
