Tube help

I just purchased a pair of Cary 805c monos that came with a pair of KR 300bxls tubes. The tops of the amps got a little dusty so I lightly (with a soft cloth)wipe the amps and tubes off and notice that one of the $500 tubes is loose in its base. HALP!!! I google to find a white paper about KR patented design and perfection in execution, and sure enough there it is in black and white. Number nine: " Perfection in joining the socket to the glass ( it is impossible that the bulb part loosens from the socket)

Can this thing be fixed?

I used strait super glue itself in the past with ok results,
but next time I may try Rodmans method.With a glued tube base,
I always use the base to remove it for testing to be on safe
side.Those wires from the tube to the base break real easy.
