Loose Tube Socket Help

[Doc Bogner]

Mike, Antique Electronic Supply carries five types of PC mount 9-pin
miniature replacement sockets. If there's enough vertical clearance in
the IM-11, you might consider the standoff type socket which provides
an air gap for better cooling:

 P-ST9-215    Stand off, white, plastic $2.95
 P-ST9-215B Stand off, bakelite         $2.80
 P-ST9-216    Stand off, bakelite          $2.50 

The standard 9-pin PC mount sockets are:

 P-ST9-218 Bakelite              $1.50
 P-ST9-217 Phenolic wafer $1.50

You can get more info from Dwight at info at tubesandmore.com

Hope this helps.
