Tim,

I have some bakelite sockets in my work shop that I can dig up. I believe quite a few are NOS. I will take photos tomorrow and if you're interested you can have them for the cost of shipping.

Thanks Rod for the offer but I don't think those would work. There's some differences in the sizing and mounting holes between China (slotted screw holes) and NOS USA tube sockets. I've tried some others and nothing lines up. I'd have to pull parts and grind my tube socket holes larger. I do have some ceramic ones coming in from over seas that measure correctly. I ordered several different types so hopefully I'll get something that will work.
