Hi all, any tips for fixing a loose tube/socket?  The 9-pin socket  (12AU7) is a little loose, do I need to replace the socket or is there a method for tightening it up?

The parts of the socket that grip the tube pins are intentionally a little loose, to allow for slight variations in the pins.

Ok, thanks. I pulled the tube out and reseated which helped as well.
