Broken LED in the 9 pin socket [resolved]

[Dawid]

Ok so a complete disaster has befallen me.  :'(
In the process of removing the sockets I broke one of the LEDs in the 9 pin socket.
I have no idea what to replace it with, or if the crack might work without it.
Can somebody please let me know what I can do about it.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Is this the only way to do it?
I live in South Africa and those LEDs will take ages to get to me.
If I have no choice, I will go for it, but is there any alternative?
Thank you for the reply.

The broken LED connects from one of the the cathodes of the tube, at either pin 3 or pin 8. The other end of each LED connects to ground. So you can jumper pin 3 to pin 8 and run both cathodes thru the remaining LED. It's not optimal, but a functional field expedient if you don't have the patience to wait for the replacement.

Thank you very much for the quick reply Doc B.
I will just wait it out, I will order the new LEDs tonight and just deal with the wait.
On the bright side at least I will have some spare LEDs then, so that this doesn't happen again.
The Crack is an amazing amp by the way, I am really enjoying it, keep up the good work.
