And... been giving it some thought. Took a closer inspection of the dodgy socket that I repaired with the epoxy and have determined that the two layers of tan fiber have warped sufficiently that almost all the pin sockets are loose. This leads me to believe that I will forever have problems with that socket until I give up and replace it.
So... I now have an excuse to go parts shopping up at Spark Museum (formerly American Museum of Radio & Electricity) in Bellingham, WA. The curator (through a friend) informs me that they have plenty of sockets to choose from.
Edison's Law states that I should take the tube that I need to seat with me when I go.
