[Boatanchors] WTB: NOS Tube Sockets for HBR Project

[whitebear1122 at comcast.net]

I am just testing the waters... I am collecting parts to build a homebrew 11 tube superhet receiver, copying Ted Crosby W6TC HBR-11 design.  



I am vacillating over the tube sockets because I'd like to build my American made homebrew radio with as many US made components as reasonably possible, including tube sockets.  It would easy to order all the Chinese made sockets from Antique Electric Supply or Radiodaze but I'm thinking that I'd like to put in American sockets. 



I need five NOS 7 pin w/shield sockets, four NOS 9 pin w/shield sockets, one NOS 9 pin ceramic w/shield socket, and three round NOS 5 pin ceramic  tube sockets for the coils.  Let me know if you have some that I can buy. 



If it turns out that I can't find them, then I'll put in the AES foreign sockets and be fine with it.  I just had a preference for US sockets.  



No I'm not planning on using NOS ancient resistors that have drifted to kingdom come or old silver mica's that already have silver migration problems  :) 



Thanks. 73, Scott WA9WFA
