I need help fast!

i was changing tubes today when the little plastic piece on the bottom of the tube broke off in the hole.

when i pulled it out half of it broke off further and fell through the hole below where the tubes go.

can anyone tell me how to get it out of there?

Don't Panic! If it's the PLASTIC locating pin in the center of an output tube base, it's NOT conductive, so it won't short out anything! It may rattle around and be annoying, but it won't hurt anything. To get it out of the amp, it would probably require removing the chassis from the housing which you shouldn't do, unless you're qualified. Hope this helps! Pat KC2EEB
