I have an HR 10 receiver that apparently got some moisture while sitting on a
concrete basement floor in Alaska and ended up with slight corrosion. Two of
the tube sockets have pins that have corroded to the point of coming apart. All
the components are good and when the pins are made to touch their other
respective part, it receives.
There fore I need a 9 pin and a 7 pin tube socket of the type Heathkit used in
the HR 10. I have a lot of tube sockets but the mounting method is not the same
since the mounting ears are different on this Heathkit. The tube sockets are NOT
the type that accommodates tube shields. There are no tube shields on the two
defective sockets.
I have a great supply of tube sockets but not the type in this Heathkit. The
sockets I possess have the mounting ears turning down and a mounting flange that
prevents mounting from the bottom of the chassis with the micas part coming up
through the chassis.
If you need a specific socket, I probably have it from loctal, octal, odd number
of pins etc. I will be glad to trade with you or purchase your 9 pin and 7 pin
tube socket for the heathkit. My tube socket or pulls from gear.
Please contact me directly if you have the needed sockets from the Heathkit.
Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
