Title: Loose 300B Pin Socket
Post by: AudioDave on May 09, 2021, 12:23:39 PM

Hey all,  been using my original BeePre for 3 or 4 years now with no problem and recently the left channel stopped working.  I am almost certain it is a bad pin connection on the 300B socket. The 300B tube does not light up and it feels "different" when inserting the tube into the socket.   Swapping tubes does not help.  Do you have any suggestions on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Dave

Flip the chassis over and squeeze the contacts together a little bit.
