"Hello. This is Jeff Naylor with Mtroniks Engineering in Mesa, Arizona for Expert Village. Now that we've removed our old pre-amp tubes and sourced some new pre-amp tubes, we're now going to install them. Installation of our tubes is exactly the opposite of removal. Our big concern is lining up this notch here with this notch in the tube. Being very careful not to bend these pins, we gently seat it on top of the tube socket and rock back and forth until it is completely seated. Do not twist or turn the tube. Now that we've got the pre-amp tubes replaced, we can move on to installing the power amp tubes. See you in the next section."
