Hi Chas,
I didn't know that the older 4 pin sockets were still available. I'll have to do some looking at various suppliers. I thought a ceramic socket would be the better choice. Since all the tubes have been removed, I can test the transformer under no load conditions. I'll isolate the transformer primary so nothing else gets energized. I'll use my variac (AKA Adjust-A-Volt) to bring it up slowly just to make sure there are no other problems.
Thanks for the info.
