jimjimbo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Other than replacing the entire tube socket, is there any way to tighten up the actual individual pin receptacles/sockets within the overall unit? It's a 9 pin socket for 12AX7's, etc. I really don't want to have to take that thing out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yep, that's what I did when neccessary. And I believe this was passed on to me from NOS Craig if I'm not mistaken. But I only did it for KT88's and the like. I bet the miniature 9 pins are a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you gentlemen, worked like a charm. Yes, the 9 pin mini was a bit of a challenge, but not too bad. This was on one of my tube testers, so it was important to get it right......Now using a socket extender so that I don't have to keep cycling tubes in the primary receptacles. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, if I can finally talk my wife into coming next year I'll be on the fun (less work) side of the bar. Shaking will be limited.
