are straight (sometimes they come from the factory with slightly bent pins). If any pins are bent very
gently straighten them with some needle nose pliers until the tube fits into the socket. Be patient and
take your time in doing this; you can easily break the glass enclosure if you are not careful!
The tube used in the Percolator is what is known as a “new old stock” item, meaning that they are still
available new, but are no longer being made. This particular tube was last made in the early 1990’s
and is still quite easy to find, mostly because there is very little demand for this model of tube. The
tube was originally used in tube televisions but there are very few of those still around! This was one
of the main reasons we decided to design the Percolator around this tube: they are easy to find, but
unusual in instrument amplifiers, creating a unique tone. When the time comes to replace the tube in
your amp, it should not be hard to find a supplier. We here at Zeppelin Design Labs would be happy
to sell you a replacement, but you can also check the standard NOS tube dealers around the web, and
even places like Ebay. While you are at it, you might want to pick up a backup tube for the future.
