I've started getting parts and things together for the redo of my philco 38-8, and I was wondering, who sells the tube sockets for this radio?

What you are looking for are called 8pin octal sockets. Fairly common but haven't been used in 50 or 60yrs. The ones in your Philco are wafer sockets, but molded sockets should work ok. You can post an ad on the Phorum or checkout epay.
