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,
js
