Marvel Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I wonder if there's a small device created especially to be inserted and slightly open up the pins inside each tube socket hole that one can buy to rectify extremely tight sockets? I would think Craig and others in the repair/restoration business would know if such a device exists. I'd ask before sticking a tiny jewler's screwdriver in those holes and possibly damaging them! One way is to use a defunct tube and insert/remove a few times. If you have an old tube, you can wrap it with tape ( a lot of tape) so if you break the glass you might not hurt yourself. Or take an old tube and remove the glass and mount a wooden handle in it. You used to be able to get old octal and other bases for mounting your own circuits. One of those could be used the same way. Maybe you could just solder them in... when one goes bad you replace the whole assembly. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
