I examined the loktal this morning and still couldn’t see an obstruction. Acting on a hunch, I pressed down on the little circular spring keep where the center guide pin goes. The spring popped out, which I went ahead and picked up. Tried putting the tube in the socket and it went in. The socket doesn’t have the locking mechanism, but it appears it will work fine. Will power up the radio later today to see if it is still working.
