Yes, the EH will be fine.

If it works do you guys want to reimburse me for that instead of sending me another one? $15 I think. Or would whatever you send me be better?

You can try an EH 12AU7, just to rule that out.  Also, you mentioned reflowing A5 and A6, it's A4 and A5 that make the tube glow (and A9).

If you would like a replacement tube we are happy to send one. We are not able to reimburse for the purchase of a tube from somewhere else.

Yep, it was the tube! Popped in the EH 12AU7 and both LEDs are glowing. I'll go check voltages right now.

And the voltages are now right! So I did the build right to begin with, which makes me feel a little better. I'll contact Eileen for a replacement tube.

P.S. Are the tubes tested before being sent out, and if so does that mean this one was damaged in transit? (Just curious)
