[Johnson] 120V Accessory Socket

[Mike Pagel, K9UW]

I have exactly the same issue and wondered if some solder, applied to the 
pins, might help them fit a bit more snugly?  Is there any reason NOT to do 
that?

Lee.

That's what I've done.  They just don't fit tight enough to prevent
accidentally knocking them loose.  I turned on my rig the other day and
guess what no output.  I thought the worst and assumed a major failure
in the output tank circuit.  I found out it was the change over relay
not working.

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then 
you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
