Hello Sterling
Attached find a couple of pictures of the sockets , one shows a standarad size socket that I have mountd in the tube opening, with one screw so as I can continue working on the radio. This particular socket is of course not native to this set, but thr rivet holes are the same as the standard Octal Sockets used on all Rogers radios of this vintage, that I, myself have seen. The first pic shows the large problem socket, and a similar, but smaller socket as used in this radio. The size difference is noticable. Rivet holes are much further apart.
I know Dan in Calgary has restored many old these DeForest Crosley/ Rogers Radios. So Dan if your tuned in, have you ran into this problem?Ralph
Hey John
This is my second post for you today. The first post just totally disappeared from the site. So here goes again. The socket picture you posted will not work, it too is smaller than the ones I need, by about 3/8″ from mounting rivet to mounting rivet. I do however thank you for efforts to solve this problem of mine. These wafer sockets were and are very fragile. I may have to reinforce the original socket, or cover the original socket hole with a piece of metal. If I do that I can punch a new smaller hole to accept the socket which I have now installed with one screw. (see my orginal pics.) A great try John, but it will not work. But again, Thanks.Regards
