Vacuum Tube Sockets

Vacuum Tube Sockets

Description

Few months ago i started to build the excellent vacuum tube tester [Sussex](https://vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=48853) and i needed some common vacuum tube sockets. I found many of them online but they are pricey, so i decided to 3d print them. For B7G, B8A, B9A & B9D pins i used 2mm diameter brass tubing sliced and cut to length, 11mm for B7G, B8A, B9A sockets and 13mm for B9D socket Also on tubing i crimped & soldered copper wire, 0.8mm for B7G, B8A, B9A sockets and and 1mm for B9D socket. For K8A i used 4mm diameter brass tubing cut at 15mm soldered on with a 1.5 mm copper wire. Being used on a vacuum tube tester and on relatively short periods of time shouldn't pose any problem for ABS.
