Okay!
I have replaced five tube sockets.
I have added tube shield bases where this set originally had them.

As I mentioned previously, I like these 1937 tube shield bases much better as they allow you to use any type of tube you wish.

I replaced the IF tube socket for one reason: I wanted to be able to ground pin 1 (metal shell) in case a metal tube ever gets used there. The original socket had no contact at pin 1.
Now comes the fun of rewiring, then installing new resistors and capacitors.
