Get one that fits into the stripped hole and you can do it gently by hand. They work well.

If there is still a bit of grip in the screw (you might try a non-metric size allen head or a different shape head if you have a set of screwdriver tips) and have someone assist you by gently lifting the top plate of the pre and rotating it counter-clockwise to "help" the screw out.
Awesome !
Thank you !

Put the amp back into the rack today and reconnected everything up and started to research getting a screw extractor in switzerland.

10 minutes later whilst hunched over the laptop i started to hear music coming from the music room. Wife had assumed i was finished and she powered everyhing up and started playing music - both channels miraculously working!

The good news is that the amp is working again! The bad news is i dont know why and I still have a screwed up screw!!!

Great news Paul !
IMHO it looks like you had a cable connection problem. This is what I thought from the beginning. A tube usually dies slowly. Not in a blink of an eye.

I think your right Jerome, and all the tubes remained lit up (as you cn see from the piccies).

More fiddling required!

Good deal Paul. I would still casually rectify the stripped screw, so it's done and over. I had an OTL amp some time ago that stopped working. I drove it to Canada (sneaky-sneaky) where the factory was located. They put it on the bench, or whatever it is they do. Needless to say, he said nothing was wrong. I returned home, and it worked fine.
I guess sometimes there's no good explanation...!

So, it does sound like a cable connection issue. Good!

But, I would fix that screw. After it is out, take out all the tubes and clean their pins with a small wire brush. Reinsert them and pull them back out a couple of times. This way, you get a good, fresh connection with the tubes in the sockets, and any oxidation effects might be minimized.

Paul,
Do you have a cat ?
I would check if nothing pushes up or down a RCA plug. They are very fragile, and not only the Switchcraft used by Shindo....

No cat Jerome, but agree with gortnipper and yourself and will be addressing the screw and will clean put the inside and reseat the tubes .

Thanks everyone for the support (emotional and technical know how!)
