I have an SK-510. When you say tube clips, do you mean the clips that
contact the tube base and provide ground and tension to hold the tube in
place? I have those, yes, but the socket is plastic, so if they clips
are something that go on the socket itself, I am not sure what you mean.
What is the difference between the SK-500 and 510? Why does the SK-510
not need the RC to ground combo?
BTW: The amp's all apart preparing for rebuild now.
