Tube Socket Replacement
#8

I think you should

1) disconnect the wires and label them;
2) make a sketch of what wire went where;
3) if any components are soldered directly to the socket, I'd leave them there.
4) drill out the rivets such that you do not increase the existing hole diameter.
5) extract the socket.
6) remove the components from it and transfer to the new socket.
7) rivet or screw the socket in place. If the socket is metal, riveting is fine; if fiber - be careful, possibly using softer aluminum rivets or putting a metal washer over the socket, watching so it doesn't short the pins.
8) solder the wires back.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
