Here's the prototype of my Sixty-One SRT amp badge designed & 3D printed by bobiron. What do you think?
Lot's of skills on this forum and bobiron's a GC!

You don’t have to replace it and since the amp seems to have individual biasing you can just pop in another valve. Just to be safe, I’d try one of the other old valves in ...
