That's the acorn, right? I might have a couple, I'll look tonight and get  
back to you. Also, I think RF parts used to carry them. Not too common these  
days. Restoring an S-36 maybe? Funny thing, I used to make walkie talkies (2m)  
using 958A's back in the 50's and just soldered right to the pins.  Never 
damaged an acorn tube until I tried using a socket. :-)
