entire tube glowing red!! HELP!

[moonshineboogie]

Ive got an early-modle road king{dual rec} and everything is normally fine. but today while i was playing at low volume my amp got way quieter and i looked at it to see that one of mt el-34s was glowing red, the whole thing! is this just a bad tube or am i in big trouble?

hey i had that very problem a few days ago. its very bad. its called "Red plating" and its bad for your amp. i replugged the tubes in a few times and it worked again. check to make sure its in good.
