That is neat to see, but should be immidiatly shut off and a new 80 put in. Is this one of the SET amps that uses 300B tubes?? I want to hear what one sounds like. I am experimenting using 01a tubes as a pre amp and have been very pleased with the resutls.
Perhaps 80 is loaded with too large first filter capacitor. Nothing more than 22uF should be used there. After the choke - freelance.
Such an arcing surely means almost-dead tube. Either the current or voltage rating was exceeded, or there was some gas inside.

i did replace the 80. the amp is a yamamoto a-08s using a type 45 output tube. it is a SET pumping out a full 2 watts of power.
