    Question

    Hey there. I have a pair of Altec output trafos that I'm using in a project, and am wondering if I can find sockets for them.

    does anyone know what kind of socket it is?

    It's for the 15095A can. 8 pins in a circle around a plastic circle with a notch?

    If not, mounting tips, anyone? =)

    Regards

    ju

    or www dot tubesandmore dot com

    old stock could be tarnished and need cleanup

    decide ceramic or phenolic

    watch hole size, the ceramics are usually bigger and can have strange mounting techniques, like compression washers, etc.
    standard hole size is 1 and 1/8 inch.
    ceramic can be 1 3/16 or 1 and 1/4 or even 1 5/16.
    so if you have on ly 1 greenlee punch, get the same size socket

    relay sockets are great for breadboarding.

    i got 10 cinch octals coming in from evilbay
