I'm sure we've all ran into THIS problem. Oh wait, this is the proper indication that your Boogie is biased properly! My bad!

Hell. that's nothing. My '67 Bandmaster polished off some NOS 6L6's a couple of weeks back -- by the time I got the head turned around and saw the plates the whole plate assembly was cherry red on the right hand side tube, and hot bits of plate metal had fallen down into the top of the glass envelope (they were upside down just like your pic)!!!!

I don't know how the grid and screen resistors all survived the heat, it was a little toasty back there.

To be honest,if the amp sounded cool and the plates got that red only on hard attacks, I'd leave it. If it was my amp, never a customers. Definately check the integrity of the screen grid resistors though.

Maybe back off the bias just a little........
