Restoring a 46-1226 Code 125

I finished the installation of the new Octal socket which will employ a 6SG7 IF amp tube when it arrives. The work went rather easily and the end result looks neat and clean. I did use a new 27K ohm 1/2 watt resistor for the B+ to the screen grid and a new 68 ohm 1/2 watt resistor for the cathode resistor. The IF transformer wires to the signal grid and the plate tube socket contacts were of adequate length and were easily moved to their new locations. I decided to take some new photographs of the area to show the new socket.
The Octal tube shown in the new socket is not an actual 6SG7, but a 6J5 just for illustration purposes.
Now I wait on the new tube. A friend has some new old stock 6K6GT tubes he is going to test match and send me so the end result should deliver the best possible sound that this radio is capable of.
