[Hammarlund] HQ-120 Tube Socket

[jeremy-ca]

DONT try and punch it out! Select the correct size drill and be sure it is 
sharp. Build a catch area for shavings so nothing gets into the rest of the 
radio. Use Tap Magic or a similar cutting oil to both make the drilling 
faster as well as catching particles.
