You probably need to replace that tube... I know that sometimes preamp tubes turn white at top when the vacuum is gone (broke the tip off a telefunken... DOH!)

White power!

Er...

Nah, that whole amp is gone, I'll take that blue voodoo off your hands any day.

Yep, looks like it lost the vacuum.

Thanks, Pete - that sucks, when a tube loses its suck. (Or does it blow?) Should I change all four?
