ted m	source for octal plugs / sockets / shrouds? I'm wondering if anyone knows of good sources for octal tube plugs and sockets for a project, need all 8 pins coming out. I think AES has them, and I'll call them shortly. Found this site by googling:     http://www.surplussales.com/Tube-Sockets/TubeSkts-3.html     Anyone ever buy from them? Thanks!!

John Culp	Yeah, I've bought from them. Nothing's cheap there, but they've got stuff that's hard to find elsewhere. No complaints from me about their service.

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Note: The Ampage Archive is an Amazon Associate site. A small commission is paid to the site owner on any qualified purchase made after clicking an associate link such as the one above.
