My opinion , its toast , They are vacuum tubes if the vacuum is lost you loose control of how the elements burn / Glow , Controlled
The vacuum tube is a glass tube that has its gas removed, creating a vacuum. Vacuum tubes contain electrodes for controlling electron flow and were used in early computers as a switch or an amplifier.

The glass vacuum can still be airtight even if the base is loose as per an earlier post. But if a connection between the insides and the pins is lost them it is indeed toast.
I've decided leave well alone, as well as it is, I'm now using the valve carefully inserted by only touching the base, obviously the vacuum is good. Just a thought would silicon hold it in place as in stop any rotating, not expecting to yank it out by the glass anyway.

High temp resistant silicon sealant can do 260c so would probably be fine. They use it in oven glass doors

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

You said it a couple of posts back so I’d recommend you do that - leave well alone and enjoy it while it’s working.

Good to hear that the valve is still working, though the high temperature silicone sounds as though it could be useful for a fix.
Re acetone/nail varnish remover. I bought a bottle, and applied some to the table top (not real wood - some sort of synthetic surface) - hardly any impact at all. The table top is now slightly cleaner, and the superglue is still there. I expect it'll wear in time - or I can just put my mug mat on top of it.
The table was free, anyway - and it is quite neat.

insert the end of wooden toothpicks in three equally spaced points between base and glass and snap them off gently. Works a treat.

Might stop it rattling but only stresses the lead out wires further.
Buy Jac Music's product and have done, if its a valve worth keeping going, ie worth more than a tenner. Yes he's selling and yes it works, and no I have no axe to grind. But superglue or Araldite? Plenty of good reasons not to...
