Crooked Tubes?

[mydog213]

So, here I am posting again about tube amps lol!

Here is the question:

My tubes(toward the controls) in my SVT CL(ampeg) look slightly more crooked then say the ones closest to the back. They tilt the same way.
Should I be worried?

Nope. They can be straightened out. They're just sitting in the sockets tilted.

Grab 'em by the base and gently wiggle them straight.

If the tubes don't push in square, possibly your pins are bent. They can be straightened with some needle nose pliers or a tube pin straightner like the one below.
