[Boatanchors] Wanted FT 243 crystal socket

[Glen Zook]

The easiest way to use an HC6/U crystal in an FT-243
socket is to solder the pins from a defunct octal tube
over the pins on the crystal.  The spacing is the
same, just the pin diameter.

I wanted to use my batch of HC-6/U type crystals in my
Rangers, so tore down an FT-243 holder, superglued an
HC-6/U phenolic socket to the end of it, and soldered
the FT-243 ribbon leads internally.
