Look inside the silver can and see if the spring is still there. Or even without a spring the shield should keep the tube in. If you have some unusual design or no tube covers/shield, I used to put a bead of silicone on the tube to the socket for the road dogs that were wheeling in their equipment every night for a tour. Hope this helps. Gary Hello,

I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, it's a 2002 USA made model. The problem I'm having is keeping the pre amp tubes in. It seems they vibrate free and cause the amp to breakup and then no sound, I push them up tight and then it works for a while. Not very reliable. I tried spreading the pins a bit to tighten the fit and I'm testing that now, but wonder if there is a better fix? Hi.
