40-201 Dial Lamp Socket Rebuild
#3

I just rebuilt those same type of lamp sockets in my 41-315X. fortunately my pilot lamp socket wasn't peed on. however, the spring action is a bit finicky. the existing washer in there seems to be sneaking past the indentation that's supposed to hold it in. did you use #6 washers filed down on the dial scale lamp sockets too? Fortunately, I used #4 ( I think) nylon washers and nylon sleeves I picked up from the local electronics shop to mimic the type of sleeve the older sockets used. switching to the rubber ones was not good for those of us trying to restore these 70+ years later.
