One of the sockets on my 40-180 radio is missing the metal "conduits". Picture attached.
It looks like the socket still has the original rivets holding it in place. Between that and the wiring inside, I would prefer not to replace the socket. It is the 7J7 plug.
Is there anything like inserts that could be added that would work instead of replacing the socket?
I don't know what the wire is for. It is solder to one of the posts on the socket.
