As i just posted about my new blues junior, it's my first all-tube amp, and was just wondering, after examining the tubes (just checking things out) I noticed some of the groove tubes are angled a little differenlty in their slots than another one, but not by much. (Meaning one is pointed straight down, the other two a tiny bit tilted).

Is this normal? Everything sounds great through the amp, it's probably normal but just wanted some opinions. thanks

    If it really bothers you . . . straighten them (of coarse while it's off).

    if it doesn't effect fucntionability (is that a word), or tube life, than I won't bother.

    So if that's not a factor, than I'm cool with it.

    Shouldn't be a factor so long as each of the pins is properly seated in it's socket.
