[Hallicrafters] tube shields

[howard holden]

Hi Richard,

I tried a bayonet on two 7 pin tubes, and about half the time it springs 
back off pretty quick.  The opposite may work on the bayonets, but not 
so well here, at least in my trials.  Guess the snap-ons were cheaper 
than the bayonets but I can't scream at the manufacturer any more......

Thanks for the suggestion though.
