Replace it.
Get it. Believe me, your radio will thank you.
If Just Radios doesn't have them, try Vacuum Tubes Inc. in Florida, or Radio Daze.
Now, here's a tip for removing that stubborn tube. Turn the chassis upside down and, using a small hammer and a small Phillips screwdriver, lightly tap each pin of the tube, alternating between left and right, until it comes out. Remember, tap lightly. Don't force it, don't use a sledgehammer, and don't act like you're the Incredible Hulk. You don't want to damage the socket.
