Tube Amp Repair

Hi

I have a Primaluna evo300 integrated tube amp

recently one of my KT66 tubes went bad, i temporarily put a EL34 in which came with amp while waiting for new tube.

Putting the new KT66 in for some reason did not seat well and guide pin broke off.  I put the EL34 back in and some smoke came out the socket.   I then put the KT66 back in.

All 4 power tubes glow but no sound.   I do not want to ship unit back to west coast

ANYONE know a firm in NJ/NYC area that can take a look at what is going on?

 

Thanks MUCH

I will call VAS, I also called Bristol Electronics in HoHoKus who used to be a primaluna repair.   I checked fuse on autobias and it is ok, so i have a feeling it is a resister or something under the socket.   groan

 

btw, does anyone know who might rent or loan an amp for a few months while waiting for fix?

Thanks all for the help.  I wound up getting the unit to Vu Jade Audio in Boonton.  Peter and Karl were very responsive and obviously very knowledgeable.   I am expecting a easy fix as appears resister got fried.
