Thanks Dave! I played with the center post of the socket and for what ever reason the tube went in easier. Metal o-ring or something was hung up. I scrape all my Loctal tube pins to get them real shiny. I've seen a ton of problems due to dirty pins and even sockets with those things. Personally I'll take an octal over a loctal anyday.
The set is working but it just doesn't seem right. I hook up the original antenna to it (oval long box) and it receives stations but it's just week. Volume all the way up and it's just not as loud as it should be. So I'm working that problem now. I hook my 75' attic antenna up to it and it gets a lot better but still not what it should be.
