I am working on a 37-660 with the rectifier tube mounted on the transformer. The pins do not always make good contact in the socket on the 5X4 and would like to know how one can get to the underside to see if they can be tighten up a bit. The tube goes in the socket real easy.

Seems like I saw something on this topic a while back but haven't located it. As I remember it was said that the wiring on the socket is very brittle and can be a bother but I need to do something with this as the tube does not get filament voltage at times. I don't think it is the tube. Checks good on tester and ohmeter.
