[AMRadio] Octal Sockets.... more Ranger stuff

My new Ranger gets stranger by the minute.

Inspecting the modulator section, not only are the tubes missing but the 
cathode pin (8) has never been soldered to.  As far as I can tell,it 
should be connected to 8 on the other socket.

Furthermore, two of the pins on this socket are missing and they are not 
unused pins.  The sockets are riveted in so installing a new one would 
be a pain to say the least.

Question:  can new pins be inserted into such a socket to repair it?  If 
so, where would one get replacement pins?

Thanks,
