The other day I put a set of new tubes EL34 in my 65 reverb head. I didn't noticce that when I removed the power tubes that the middle of the tube end broke off and sat in the tube socket. I then went to put the new tubes in and turned on the power and noticed that only one tube was heating up. I pulled the tubes and found the broken tube piece and removed it.
I reinserted the tubes again and no power to the one tube. When I played guitar through the head it sound distorted and lacking of power. Any possible reasons for this problem?
