Be sure to specify the mounting screw hole spacing. The wrong socket may require drilling, not cool...
Stay away from China sockets if you can, rumor control has it the tension on the pins is rather weak... Or YMMV...
Test the power transformer before going too far. Tape up the filament and high voltage leads, be sure there is no shorts in the rest of the filament circuits. Power the chassis and wait for 1/2 hour. If no crackling noises followed by smoke and heating after half an hour the transformer is O.K.
