Ever checked the mailbox, waiting for those nos tubes to arrive and when they do you dive into the box? Voila, excellent tubes except pins are slightly off. Trying to push them in only makes them bend more and can harm your tube sockets. Frustration!!.Soluton, A simple tool known as a 9 pin tube pin straightener. This has to be the lifesaver for many nos tube users,they also clean the contact pins. With a little contact cleaner ,less noise. Best $10 I ever spent. Get one!!. good luck.Donations
