Tube Amp Repair

     Did you remove the broken KT66 pin, from the tube socket, before installing the next tube?

     I ask, because: if the pin piece was pushed through the socket; it could easily cause havoc* on the other side.

     *ie: A number of wires and resistors run under the right channel's tube sockets.

yes the piece was picked out, i do some some plastic residue did go down.  I just think smoke is not a good thing   ;-(  

   NOPE!    Smoke's never a good thing, around tube electronics.

          Hopefully: any needed repairs will be easy/inexpensive.
