So called Superior Grade Cryo
Work ok and test ok but in use and the tester there is low
insertion/extraction force in the sockets. Dragon's teeth hold them in place
ok, so will not fall out. Measuring the pin diameters about 2.15 mm compared
to a random selection of others laying around of 2.3mm. Known problem ? or
leave alone or squash the pins a bit , perpendicular to the base forks gap ?
and colateral damage ?
These are from Peavey Deuce with final IC before the valves is corrupt so
possibility of intermittant valve action feeding spikes back into the
preamp ? no abnormal use admitted to , to have occassioned the IC failure

These are from Peavey Deuce with final IC before the valves is corrupt so
possibility of intermittant valve action feeding spikes back into the
preamp ?


** WTF are you an about ???

The Peavey Deuce VT has a pair of transistors driving the output valves -
from a 300 volt DC supply.

Wot a bloody lunatic.

I don't see any IC's there? I do see a pair of transistors that may be
suffering.

Report back when you can determine the type of damage the transistors
are getting, which one, and how was it damaged? collector short, base to
emitter short? no gain? etc,,,,

The 300V transistor pair are ok , as is the clean channel prea.

Marking a line outside of the socket base perpendicular to a fork,
transfering a line to the valve base to get the correct "reversed"
orientation . Then a 1.9mm rod as a stop in the jaws of parallel action
pliers deformed the pins to elliptical axes of 2 and 2.3mm in the right
sense to increase the grip.

Never had problems with Peavey sockets even on a VX VTR series that blew
one of the drivers. Replace with a pair of MJE13003 and the rest is
history.

Not a socket problem but out of mechanical spec valve problem
