Hey Jess, what amp was it btw?

*points at sig*

And Marty, no mainboard damage as far as I know (Thank fuck for 900 bases not being mounted to the PCB), but the OT is on the way out.

There's the tube socket.

And another pic of the tube base

Feel free to use that as an example of why CP tubes suck.

And Marty, if you use my story as an example, don't forget to mention my OT has to be replaced now.
