Richie	Re: svetlana tubes rattling I have used qiute a few of the Svets, but never had this problem.I have had it with the Sovteks.And more on amps that have circut board mount sockets.I have always used a piece of foam under my amp head feet for years. It helps keep vibrations of any kind.Sometimes a dirty socket or one that needs retentioning will cause it.It could be the tube. It also sounds like a bad speaker,but you said it quits when you move the head. You might try some tapping with a nonconductive Piece of wood,etc.Check for a loose connection on sockets,check grounds and input jacks to make sure they are tight.These will also cause vibration problems. Good luck looking ....[Richie]
