Hello friends,
Can anyone tell me where I can find suitable brass eyelets to fasten tube sockets and tube shield bases to a chassis? And the tool(s) to use to fasten everything down?
Here's the backstory: I'm working on a 38-690. Some doofus forcibly removed some of the tube shield bases from the tuner in order to allow metal and GT tubes to be used. I wish to replace the tube shield bases.
Yes, I could simply use pop rivets, which is what I have done in the past. But one wire must pass through one of the eyelets, so a pop rivet cannot be used in that particular spot.
Any/all help appreciated. Also, any advice on how to do this would also be appreciated. In 44 years of working on vintage radios, I've never worked with brass eyelets so this is all new to me.
Thanks.
