400/1 “Linda” Full WOPL

[AngrySailor]

NEXT!!! This one getting the full deal, full comp, driver board, everything...

Keep the old sockets, I want those.

 

[AngrySailor]

For sure. Tim could use one or two changed out also. Unfortunately there are several broken insulators on Linda, where they pass through the back plane. I won’t toss anything though Lee.

If they're junk, dont need em Andrew..

I’ll keep anything worth keeping. I’ve got a lot of the busted insulator parts also. A little crazy glue could make some useable sockets...

 

[laatsch55]

If they're busted they're too brittle..

 

[AngrySailor]

If they're busted they're too brittle..

Did they bust because brittle or because someone was a caveman putting them output retainer screws in? I notice you have to be careful as the screw goes through the insulator that it’s threads enter the collector tab easily or you would probably bust the insulator?

 

[laatsch55]

That too..

Mine looked like they pushed the socket away from the wall trying to get the screw started, then once started, snugged it up with a misaligned socket. Probably couldn't see through all that compound they slopped on.

Damn. I threw the ones from MY build away? Had I known............

 

[mlucitt]

Whatever Lee is paying for those old transistor sockets, I will pay double!

 

[George S.]

I string mine on a fine gold chain.
