Vacuum Tube Sockets

myminifactory

Few months ago i started to build the excellent vacuum tube tester Sussex 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 socketAlso 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.
