Thanks for the suggestions. Should I vertically pull the tube straight up with very small degrees of rocking then?

Disposable exam gloves never slip, I've been using them for decades
A box of 50 or 100 are cheap and you will probably run out before the box does.
You don't even have to put it on, just wrap around the tube.

That's exactly what @bcowen recommends for removing tubes -- only its not from his amps. Ewwww!

Plus it will save you and your tubes from the big "C". Last thing we want to do is get the virus from our tubes...

I suspect he bought them to handle the Power tube you sent him prior to his disinfecting it.

The shocking part of that post is that @bcowen knew exactly how to find those things. But then again, given his car's vanity plates, I'm not really surprised.

Well, I'm sure you wanted to make 100% sure the tubes were dead before selling them to me.

Yes, exactly. Just a few degrees of rocking while pulling steadily upwards, never forcing the action. Oh my, what I am I opening myself up for here?

Nah. Luby's is no fun now that I have to sit 6' away from the geriatric cougars.

What they lack in looks they make up with 'enthusiasm'.
