[Hallicrafters] TIGHTENING OF TUBE SOCKET PINS

[TC Dailey]

Been doin' it for years.  Easier for octal, but usable technique for 7 & 9
pin sockets, as well.  Use a small, very sharp pointed scribe... push it's
point ALONGSIDE either half of the female pins in the socket - then do the
other side.  Proceed about the socket until all pins are done.  I learned
this in the Navy, as when you're at sea folks, there ain't any going back to
the dock to get some new ones, you know.  It's easy & it works.... just be
careful, and not too forceful.
