Tube ornamental rim

batinal · 7th February 2006, 08:30 AM

Hello friends,

I am brand new here and I have had much difficulties to be here (many thanks to Hugo);

Attached please find decorational brass-look rim of tube socket on the chassis attached by glue found in Chinese tube amp. Can anyone tell me where I can locate?

Greetings.

I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to find any more ornamental brass rims. That's an aluminium chassis and a little damp in there (such as from a sweaty fingertip) is all that is needed to create a battery and start electrolytic corrosion - shows as a black mark that keeps on reappearing after being wiped off.

You might find something like this in your local hardware store or perhaps a marine supply store. (Brass grommets)
