So, I thought I would test my new socket with a tube to check if it will go in before I installed it.. It goes in most of the way but the fat center pin won’t quite lock into the socket and allow it to seat properly. It’s almost like the center metal need to be spread out a bit more but, I wanted to ask if you guys have had the same experience with new sockets. The socket looks pretty much the same as the old one except there’s a extra pin in the middle hole but, that doesn’t seem to be causing the issue. I got the socket from radio daze and after checking I don’t see any difference visually except the actual pin sockets on a couple of them anyway ( those don’t look like my sockets from the top anyway)
