[GreenKeys] [National] surplus store going out of biz sale

[Jim Pruitt]

Jeff,

That is a phenolic (bakelite) FT243 crystal socket.  I did not see any 
just like that but this one might work:

I did not see a date on KF4TAP's web site.

Are you missing the socket or is it just that the pins do not close 
enough?  A lot of sites suggest replacing the pins with pins from an 
octal tube base but that assumes that you have a socket.

Good luck.
