TRRI Problems,need some info

Fender TRRI: When you first turn it on and start playing its fine, but as the use continues the volume starts to decrease. Last night started at 2 1/2 Vol, by the end of the night I was up to 5 and you can hear it when the vol drops.
All tubes are burning bright. My amp tech is out of town until Thur, I'm impatient when it comes to this. Thanks for any help

When was the last time you replaced the tubes? Just because they're glowing doesn't mean that they are good. Think of 'em like spark plugs in your car. It'll still run on used up ones, but you'll lose a lot of power and mileage.

Its a 92 model, tubes were replaced in 2000.

I figured that might be the culprit,but wanted to be sure. I have 2 SFTR and this TRRI. What tubes would you recommend for the RI.

Well, I'm not a tube guru, I just use whatever is available. I'm sure some others will have some recommendations.
