Picked up a Sovtek 5751 to replace the 12AX7 in my Gibson GA-5 RI (Like a tweed champ, but grittier) Nice OD, but it starts to break up around 10 o'clock. The 5751 has about 70% the OD of a 12AX7. But do you think I could get it in? No. I even bent a few of the prongs (no other damage). The socket has a third height steel tube guard, so it was hard to see what I was doing.
I guess it's amp tech time.
