Here is a question: I have an adapter with an anode cap where the wire is too short for some tubes and I want to make it longer. It so happens that I have two pieces of wire with anode caps from a defective adapter. Is it dangerous to just push in the leads into the anode caps and keep them in place with some kind of plug to get a longer wire? Somewhere back in my mind there is something about high voltage (150V?) and memories of getting shocked back in the Little Dot days.
I am not good at soldering etc and I am trying to avoid cutting the original wires to the anode caps.

Something completely off topic, but perhaps of interest to some folks of a certain age, sixty-one years ago, Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose were introduced to America. The show, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends premiered on November 19, 1959

OK. I rotated amps so the GOTL is home now. Withr VCs and loads of burning in - I'm quite into these Melz outputs. Tx for the recommendation @mordy and @gibosi for the exploration.

They do have a nice spaciousness to them indeed.

I've got 2 more on the way to make it a six pack...

The credit goes to Triod750 who found them.

It only hurts for a second !
Try some of these cut one off then cut the wire stick one wire in one side one in the other ant tighten the set screws. Easy peasy I use these at work all the time.

Thanks for the good advice! My problem is that the adapter is on loan and I cannot change it by cutting the wires.....
But good to know an easy solution and also thanks to gibosi for the picture of the terminal block.

More problems - has anybody had problems receiving items from China lately?
Ordered four different small items over the past 3 months:
One never arrived - refund
One item arrived in 10 days
Two other items were ordered almost 5 weeks ago and have not arrived.
What is considered normal delivery time in these times? eBay just states that Chinese shipments may be delayed.

I’m in Malaysia and depending on which platform I used for online shopping it can be one month to three months. Most items I bought from aliexpress will arrive within 4-8 weeks time.

Hey Sam,
Nice to see you still around, I can only assume that you are at a very nice place in your audio journey
Hope all is well on your end. It has been a crazy year in my little part of the world in a small town in Ohio.

These beauties arrived from Spain not too many days ago.

@Zachik a pair of these will be off to their new home some time this afternoon.
