Replacing the socket with a phenolic molded or ceramic one is a pain! The hole in the chassis is a bit under sized to drop it in from the top so I ended up grinding out the hole to enlarge it. It's not much fun. I thought about using my Greenly punch but the chassis is pretty thick and steel. Looking back I would grab a wafer socket from a Philco parts set.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
