Moving tube equipment


I will be relocating some tube based amps soon. Since I'm doing the packing and driving (about an hour and 15 minutes) any thoughts on just leaving the tubes intact and packing carefully so the units cannot shift.  After unpacking just check to make the tubes are still properly seated.  The amps are not auto biased so having the right tube in the correct socket matters.  Yes I'm just being lazy and would rather not pull the tubes and mark etc....
Thanks

I'm looking at the same thing in a month moving my tube preamp.

Mick from Supratek who made the preamp said he ships them with tubes installed, that's the best give and take. Plan to put it on the car seat, blanket carefully draped around the tubes, anywave, just my thinking.
