Thank you for the cheering squad!
I'm on the home stretch now--a couple of awkward bits to get to, aside from replacing that socket. I'm stripping the socket down now, so I can tie up several loose ends inside the chassis. And yes, I broke the repair again (as well as one other pin mount on the same dying socket). I'm understanding the hatred of the rubber wire, but I must say I find the petrified jackets easier to deal with than the gooey ones.
