Yesterday, although not feeling up to par due to a virus, I cleaned all the components off the
4-pin sockets.
What a mess! :-(
The Amphenol snap-ring sockets had been repeatedly gotten so hot that they lost all their
temper and would no longer properly grip the tube pins.
I am going to replace them with ceramic sockets.
In addition, the 6-terminal phenolic terminal strip had been "carbonized" in spots by repeated
attempts at soldering to it, and that will have to be replaced.
More fun later. :-)
