Installing the tubes:

Note: avoid oil or smudge on the tube glass; clean hands before installation.

1. Find the correct tube for the socket. There is a label below each tube socket that

indicates a standard tube for the amplifier. For example, a 6080 tube should
install on the “6080” labeling socket. You MUST use the compatible tube or
serious damage may occur to the amplifier. See Compatible Tubes section for all
the approved direct substitute tubes.

2. Align the tube guide pin to the socket as below.

3. Hold the tube base firmly then squeeze it into the socket slowly. Be sure to apply

force perpendicular to the tube socket; never insert the tube at an angle. Apply
slight rocking motion for the tube, which is harder to insert; never apply circular
motion. Apply pressure from the top of the tube if needed.
