I managed to break the tan tube socket for the 6J8G convertor tube on this radio while I was replacing a resistor. The socket is the only tan colored socket on this radio, the others are the standard brown wafer sockets. It appears the socket is made of a type of cardboard.
Can this socket be replaced with a standard bakelite or plastic socket?
