One of the power tubes in my vintage 30 no longer glows, I guess its time to swap them. My question is, do I need to rebias the amp afterwords or is it plug-n-play? Thanks.

I don't believe that amp has adjustable bias.

Some will have their own opinion when it comes to Biasing an amp. My opinion is that Changing power tubes does require at least checking it and adjust if needed. I recall that amp is a CLASS A cathode bias design, which you can change tubes and not need to be biased. However I recommend you have it checked and checked again a few months later to see if its within spec's. It does make a differnce on how the amp sounds and how long the tubes will last.
