Can a broken leg from a tube be soldered and used?

Doh! What was I thinking!

The tube is not that expensive. About $50~70. If bought from Russia or Eastern Europe, $60 for 4 set and $25 for shipping.
What I will do is to find some tubes with long legs (at least 50% longer then 6C33C tube legs) and remove them from the tube. Then insert them into the 6C33C tube socket. Then you can connect the the pins and the tube's (with broken legs) legs with wires.
How does it sound?

Why not just by a new tube and use it? I know it sounds stupid to go through all these hassles, but I need to buy not one, but four matched set of tubes, and I've ran out of audio upgrade fund. LOL
Until I get a new matched quad set of tubes, I will try what I just said unless somebody yells me hard not to go for it due to potential hazard to the amp.

Dgarretson, do you mean that 6C33C-B tubes do not need to be matched?

Lewm, how much did you pay for? Over $100 per piece, right?
The tube tubes will be used with my vk60.
I guess new sets of 4x6C33C-B and 8x6SN7 from BAT would cost me at least $600, right?

There is no leg left on the damaged tube to make any contact to the socket.
Someone told me that the broken legs may not need any connnection to the circuit. So I just go ahead and plug the power.
Only one tube biased (a green line comes for each tube once biased). One tube did not glow at all. The other two tubes glowed, but did not bias.
Looks like three tubes are bad. The seller claimed that the amp worked just fine before shipping. What a life on used power amp!

In another thread (under misc forum) I mentioned that one int tube amp, which worked find before I sold it, was returned back to me with blown resistor. The seller demands a full refund minus shipping, claiming that I sold him a defective amp.

I feel like I am cursed by a tube daemon.
