[TV MAN]

I got some NOS sockets from a vendor in the US, but got buried working on my Emerson. I have seen the pins pull out of the ceramics too, but don't recall any connection problems. I guess they don't always get that little clip bent right that holds the pin in. But, I've had problems with those sockets in both amps. Got them from a US vendor. I'm going to order some better ceramic sockets from over seas and give them a try. I've gotten some others that seem OK. Just have to watch not to crack them.

I have a couple Fisher 500c receivers and started to restore one, but got mad with so many different opinions at the time. I'd like to finish those and discern the advices and see what works best. I bought a bunch of 7591a tubes before the prices went stupid, so I don't lack. I'm really wanting to get of my couple Dyna Mk3s running again. (shelf time) and my Pas 2 recapped. I'm still interested in building a few more amps of my own design. Bucket list ya know. Might give me a holler when you're ready to turn loose of some of that stuff. I have a few of my own that I may shove on eBay myself.
