nope, pull the tube.
Silly question but, does the tube still need to be in the socket? The reason I ask is that I tried that using a socket saver and putting a .01 in the holes of pins 4 and 8 just to test and something got rather cranky and hot as I could smell it and so I shut things down in a hurry. It seemed like it was coming from one of the larger WW resistors at the rear of the chassis. Perhaps the connection in the socket saver wasn't as good as it should have been. I need to fabricate something more permanent. All I know is that smell gave me a fright.
