Hello Everyone Recently I was given a Pioneer SX-440 Stereo Receiver and two of the original pilot light sockets were broken in the unit and I'm trying to source some new sockets and so far I'm not having any luck, do you guys have a source for the screw-base clip-in light sockets that have the 2 solder tabs on the back of the socket?
The Socket I need looks like the one seen below.

A website called MerryTunes which is owned by an antique radio parts supplier based out of Ontario, Canada had these light sockets at one time (NOS ones) but they're sold out.

Saw these: https://www.shellhoaf.com/index.php?main..._id=187062 But not sure if the but size will fit the bulb that is the oem to the Pioneer. Research needed.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Yes, those are it! Thanks Terry! I'll see if I can order some.
UPDATE: They wanted to charge me $25 for shipping just to ship 3 light bulb sockets that only weighed less than an ounce!  
So that's out of the question.

Nope, none of those will work. There needs to be a mounting clip, those don't have a mounting clip.

Maybe Sal's has something you could use. Can you convert to a bayonet bulb?

Well Kestas, the socket I could of used that he had, was out of stock according to his website! 
Socket A, in the picture you posted from Sal's, was the light socket I could of used, but Sal's said on his website that he was out of those sockets, so I don't know what to say.

Yes those would work Elliot, where did you find those on the Parts Express website? I looked everywhere on their website and didn't find anything... 
Edit: Just looked at the bottom of the page and it says " no longer available" ?

Sorry about that, I was using my phone and didn't see they were "no longer available"
I found them by doing a Google search for "clip on bayonet bulb socket."

It's ok, it's weird though that no one has any light sockets like that available or makes any light sockets like that brand new...
