  For a guy that really didn't want to roll very much. I'm sure buying alot of different tubes and adaptors. I don't even get my amp till November!!

Welcome to the club aqsw. You should see the tubes and adapters I've already purchased.

Yea, I did that, too. Apparently, didn't buy enough adapters.

 
I am thinking of going to the UK and getting some hypnotherapy from H1...see if I can be "cured"

Actually, UT...from the look of the FDD20 to 12SN7 adapter available from ebayer xulingmrs for $19, it should be a piece of cake to simply wedge the new heater wires between the tube's pins and the socket terminals, and snip off the base's heater pins...no need even to drill through the adapter to access the heater wires...EASY!!  And your special car battery should be a wonderful 12/13V source, lol!...tempted?!...

...   Pic of said adapter  :
 

 

H1 that is indeed a very nice adapter from a seller that I'd recommend highly but I have enough adapters. I have 5 already. !

I will be happy to contribute when I finally get my amp.

I was wondering how everyone keeps their tubes. You keep them in those nice sturdy boxes Mike. I bet they're well padded inside.

Yes ,those tube caddy's are padded by plenty of other tubes lol.

I love the mirror... you just need to buy one tube to have a pair

Been listening to those ECC31 types and first impression so far, is that i prefer #1 tube in picture has  more bass then the staggered style plates on top of #2 picture will see in time if they even out basswize                                                          #1

This is perfect!!  Take out all the tubes, put in your clothes...buy ticket to UK, show up H1's house....
 
Get hypnotherapy, in hopes of a cure....

Would love to oblige, JV...but I fear this particular area of addictive/borderline OCD behaviour(!) is one I would have to pass on...can't even "cure" myself, lol! 

....no hope!...

Goodness me Mike looks like you've more tubes than Gibosi and they're all neatly hand written labelled and stashed.
 
Now I'm surprised by your findings on the plates style of the ECC31. Wondered what mine is.

Nice tube caddies, Mike.
 
I sure wish that I had the two back that I got rid of.
 
They were from my fathers tv shop......I sure could use them now, along with  the tube tester that I got rid of.
