Tube Amp Repair

Hi

I have a Primaluna evo300 integrated tube amp

recently one of my KT66 tubes went bad, i temporarily put a EL34 in which came with amp while waiting for new tube.

Putting the new KT66 in for some reason did not seat well and guide pin broke off.  I put the EL34 back in and some smoke came out the socket.   I then put the KT66 back in.

All 4 power tubes glow but no sound.   I do not want to ship unit back to west coast

ANYONE know a firm in NJ/NYC area that can take a look at what is going on?

 

Thanks MUCH

A great tube engineer builder Radu Tarta is near theNY boarder in CT 

he does mods for most amps are not that well engineered 

and the primal luna tube sockets are very cheap , good ones are gold over Copper Teflon sockets that alone sonically a nice improvement .
