Any fix for a loctal socket?
#1

I finished restoring my 41-250 and have one issue that needs attention. The radio sometimes will not play until I wiggle the oscillator tube in it's socket. After this initial "adjustment" it plays very well. I've tried the usual contact spray, etc., but the problem remains. I'm ready to pull the socket and replace it, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has a suggestion on how to fix this problem before I take that drastic step. Thanks.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
