what do you use to remove your tubes?


Happy Holidays! ! ! I want to pull my preamp and signal tubes (12AU7's and 12AX7's) to see what brand they are. They only stick out of my Rogue Cronus Magnum about 3/4 of an inch. Do I have to use cotton gloves / towel or could I use latex gloves? I'm thinking I could get a better grip with latex gloves. Once I know what they are, I would like to post a thread on what other tubes people are using in their Cronus Magnums and what effects they are having on the sound.

Donjr,
3/4 of an inch?! Getting them out may be the easy part.
Reinstalling the tubes, trying to line up the tube pins with the tube socket may be a challenge.....
Donjr,

Curiosity killed the cat, did you pull the tubes? Did you have any problem putting them back in?

Beats me why a manufacture would recess a tube in a well.... http://www.uptownaudio.com/rogue/Titan.htm

Looks like the best way to pull the tubes would be with Chinese handcuffs, LOL.....
