I have an Ampeg Reverbrocket that rattles when I play loud. I tightned the speackers but how can I remove and then screw back in the tubes? Thanks.

Screw back in???

Simply pull the tubes out. Gently work the tube out by rocking it from side to side while pulling on it. Be careful not to damage the tube as it comes out, cup your other hand over its top. This way when it finally gives, it won't smash on your chassis.

If you experience rattling, maybe one of your pre-amp tubes is microphonic, or your power tubes are old.

I don't think a loose tube would cause a loud rattling. If it is a tube issue, it is probably a microphonic tube. To make sure the tubes aren't actually loose in their sockets, I woudl just push them into their sockets to make sure they haven't slipped. There is no screwing involved, and you shouldn't twist them as you could break a pin off in the socket.
