The socket of made of a resin that does not melt. At least all of the
ones that I have seen.

I discovered that when I removed the 6DC6, the pin stub came out with
the
tube.  This shows that there was, at least, enough contact to provide
enough
voltage to operate some of the receiver circuit.  When I tugged on it
from
below, it totally broke.

So I will heat the pig-tail of a doner to remove, push it into the
original
hole, then heat the plastic to remold.  Carefully!!

I will let you know.

Jim
