Tubes not fully seated on tube socket - SE341.6
Yesterday at 16:44:31
 
I’ve noticed a seating irregularity with the power and rectifier tubes. The current socket screws are protruding enough to prevent a flush connection with the tube base. I’m concerned about potential arcing or intermittent connectivity; what is the preferred method to rectify this clearance problem?

IMO the danger is very small, but using socket savers will usually fix the problem. And protect the tube sockets as well.
