Hi,
I'm new to this forum, all forums in fact.
I have a fender blues deville 410 that is about 5 or 6 years and have had this problem consistently for about a year now.
One of the power amp tubes (the one on the right if you look at the back) sometimes does not come on when I turn the amp on, sometimes it needs a bit of a wiggle to get going.
Some times while playing it will stop working having a noticeable effect on the sound.

I have had the amp serviced recently and all soldering checked etc. but it still persists??!!

I've taken the back off it to see if i can tighten what ever keeps the tubes in but still no joy.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated ( so i can take out the bit of cardboard that i have jammed in there to keep it in place!)

Hi Rbtfoster,

Intermittent problems typically indicate a bad connection, most often poor solder joints. If the tube socket solder joints have been verified good, then you might have a loose connection in the socket itself, maybe one of the heater connections. :idea:

If you just had it "serviced", I'd say that you didn't get good service.

Bad contact on socket or solder.

Was serviced recently ? I don't call that a service. Remember the name of this place , this guy and never recommanded him at anybody. Or return to see him on "warranty if you are sure he is honest and competent
