slightly neurotic question from a tube newbie



I was moving my stereo (Jolida 302brc) and bent one of the the tubes. I took it out and straightened the pins, but it doesn't sit as tight in the sockets as the others, but works fine. Could this cause a problem down the road?

Thanks -- Marty

Tube amps have lots of current flowing.
My advise is to NOT turn it on. Take it to a tech and have it checked out. Most likely, he/she will do exactly what Mingles (above) advised. But, loose sockets and poking around can be dangerous.
