Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#29

Ok folks, making good progress on the recap and rewire but ran into a snag tonight. One of the pins for the 6J8G tube socket is broken. Is there a particular style of octal replacement socket you’ve found works best?  I know I need one for a 1 1/4 inch hole with 1 1/2 inch mounting centers, bottom mount but just looking for a little guidance on what has worked best for you all. Also when it comes to mounting, what’s your approach?  Use rivets or screws/nuts?  The bad part is I’ll have to drill a hole for the grid cap wire or route it through the eyelet of the 1232 tube socket either way. Minor setback, but shall persevere!

Thanks in advance all!
