By the way, with regard to the socket tie points and terminal strips having split lugs on Brand Z sets this wasn't anything unique to that brand, many RCA and related sets used similar ones from the late 1920s till the mid 30s. Are they easier to deal with? I would say they are in some ways but more of a nuisance in others. More often then not you end up breaking one of the fingers off of the lug if you bend them too much.
