Re: The right way up for Tubes in an amp chassis..
Proper bias set point checked, tube sockets cleaned, and good working tubes so the amp doesn't draw more current and run hotter than designed.
I mean, sure there are manufacturers and models out there where heat is a problem because the design is poor -but do the homework -the bad ones are known -There are models and derivative designs out there without issue for 70 years
Also, most tube electronics were enclosed with some basic vent ports back pre 1960s -it wasn't an unnatural thing, guitar amps aren't unusual -people have just used them generally longer than most diagnostic and transmission tube equipment.
