I saw tube sockets like this one used before and then an LED was put in the little hole where that silver piece is. How do I remove that silver piece?

Read the LED under tubes thread on diyforums.org.

Ah didnt see that, thanks

Yeah, I used those instructions and fixed 2 sockets in about 5 minutes. I used some handy dandy JBWeld to put the two sides back together. That stuff is the handiest DIY thing I'd want!

What? And ruin the natural glow of your tubes with an LED? Blasphemy!!!

The heaters on the 12AE6's are pretty dim, so I don't think you're ruining much

Ruining? I call it enhancing..

This is the electrical equivalent of a natural gas fireplace

Buy a couple extra. Some are hard to separate and some just break.
