sometimes i tend to think about things i already know to make repairs on things that are broke.
since i dont know enough about old radios,, but enough to hold my own, i think about things i see that will work to fix something else.

here is an example you all may find useful where tube sockets are still being made for a totally different application.
the base that the ice cube relay plugs into is usually a couple bucks.  

 just trying to share what i find.

ignore the application of the relay itself,, its a -48v 10kamp dc plant shunt mux power source relay from the fero days of rectifiers.
