[R-390] Searching for sockets tube extender 7 ,9 and 8 pins

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I have not seen these as a standard item sold in stores for quite a 
while. They do often show up on the auction sites for fairly modest 
prices. If you have any local hamfests they are a better bet since you 
can actually see their condition. I have had good luck with the ones I 
have bought at auction but that may not always be the case. The socket 
side of these things can wear out.

One alternative is to build some from scratch. Tube sockets and tube 
base sized plugs are required but at least you can find those new. It's 
a bit more work to do it this way. I'm not sure it's a whole lot more 
expensive.

	Take Care!
