Use a needle file to file it off. Trying to clip it off with wirecutters will likely break the tube's base, letting the vacuum out.

Don't need to worry about cutting a pin. I have some 1L6 tubes.

The previous owner had put a 1R5 in place. Oddly, it can oscillate at a higher frequency than my T/Os with a 1R5 and is more sensitive.

Speaking of 1L6 tubes, How do the solid state replacements compare?

Dude. Hook 9V to the wrong spot in the string, and you can definitely blow a filament or two. Or three. (That's assuming your 9V is a 'hard' source like a battery, wall wart etc.)
I meant to connect to where the battery hooks up... not in the middle of the string O_o
