Socket doesn't hold tube tight enough - problem fixed
10-13-2025, 05:03 PM
For those who may run into a similar socket issue - I solved the problem without replacing the socket. I simply took an Optical screwdriver (small, flat blade) and was able to bend the metal tabs inward so that the open end of the receptacles in the socket are closed or at least closer to each other - thereby tightening them up. Now, the tube fits in there nice and snug with perfect contact of the tube pins and the radio now is perfect.
