Tube help

I just purchased a pair of Cary 805c monos that came with a pair of KR 300bxls tubes. The tops of the amps got a little dusty so I lightly (with a soft cloth)wipe the amps and tubes off and notice that one of the $500 tubes is loose in its base. HALP!!! I google to find a white paper about KR patented design and perfection in execution, and sure enough there it is in black and white. Number nine: " Perfection in joining the socket to the glass ( it is impossible that the bulb part loosens from the socket)

Can this thing be fixed?

Thanks guys. But I still feel like I'm putting duct tape on my Ferrari.

Fortunately the loose base should not affect the operating performance of the tube. Just be careful and handle it only by the base when taking it out.

I misunderstood your question, thinking you were seeking a method to affect a repair(on your own). Contact KR, and see what they say: [email protected]
