Been a while since I made a stupidly off topic post - here's some wood steak knives

Hardened wood? Maybe a good material for a 336 cabinet? … and back on topic

It would need to be flameproof as well.

Not my intention but ended up with a TS6080 in the DV. Ordered two and one is dead. Any way to repair a tube that won't light up ? It's just dead...

The one you have pictured looks like it's lit up, if you mean no sound ...try cleaning the pins.

Reflow pin solder can bring a tube back that isn’t lighting up and I’d then recommend testing it.

The one in the picture is the one out of two that IS working. I'll do a resolder and see what's what. I can't find the solder sucker lol

Haven't got a tester on hand

Exactly why the original casing is metal with furnace like openings

Re-soldering is your only hope, maybe even clean the pins just in case and good luck

Said the 6SN7 to the 6080: “Hey there! What’s a nice tube like you doing in a place like this?”.
