[R-390] OT: Need Type 'S' octal socket

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

Glenn,

Yes, I had found their website.  They have a $10 minimum order and I don't
think I need anything else from them.  I was hoping maybe someone on the
list might have one laying around they might sell me.

By the way, yes, this is the kind of socket that uses a "wavy" ring to lock
it in place.  It also has an orientation notch to keep it from spinning in
the hole.  It fits the adapter shown here:

www.tubesandmore.com and search for part number P-SH12-1-31.

I have a Zenith Transocianic that I'm replacing the filter cap and I'm
planning on using an octal socket in place of the twist-lock cap.  I think I
can make it look very nice this way.  I plan to use an octal plug to hold
the new caps and glue the old paper sleeve over the plug.  From the top, it
should be barely noticeable it isn't original equipment.

Thanks for all the responses both on the list and privately.  If any of you
guys do have one of these sockets (and an octal plug would be handy as
well), please let me know.

Thanks!
