[Hallicrafters] Tube Socket Connection

[David C. Hallam]

Thanks to all who replied to my request for knowledge about tightening tube
socket connections.

It's too bad the manufacturers didn't use something like beryllium copper
( I know, I know, all the litany about the hazards of beryllium copper)
rather than cold rolled brass to make the connectors.  I guess tin plated
cold rolled brass is a lot cheaper than using something that would hold up
under the heat and repeated removal and reinsertion of the tubes.
