You know I took a small screwdriver and flexed the center parts of the socket. Everything is flexible enough for the tube to just snap right in. Little baffling. The tube's in now so I'm just gonna leave it alone. Gotta figure out tis reception problem. It's just weak using the original antenna box but my big antenna in the attic improves reception considerably. Go back at it in the morning. Resistance readings are quite a bit off from what's called out on the schematic. Resistances inside the antenna box. May have to open that up.
