Thanks all for the input. I found a shop near me in New Haven CT that deals with ARC. I'm just going to take it in and have them take care of it. It will probable have to go to ARC. Thankfully the seller gave me a partial refund.
Using contact cleaner in tube sockets
My ARC VT100mkii which I just got, has a crackling from one of the channels. The tubes are new. When I first installed the tubes, it was fine. The following morning, I powered it on, and the crackling started. I swapped tubes with the other side and it was fine for a while. This evening, it started again. Will using contact cleaner damage the sockets? It is quick drying cleaner.
