[AMRadio] Need BC-1G 833 Tube Socket

[Charles Ring]

I have done this, but with a 10-32 tap and screw. I know the original is 
bigger than 6-32 and may have been 10-32.  I would not use an Allen 
screw. It is important that the "socket" itself be free to move a little 
in the phenolic bar that holds them.
