Flange for octal sockets?

[Mark]

I have some old ceramic octal sockets that are good quality but I'm missing the flange plate and the retaining ring. I have searched the Internet for the flange plate and retaining clip
without luck. Would anyone know where I could purchase such items?

Thanks for your assistance.

I've never seen those parts sold separately, even back in the '60s when they were popular. I always liked the way they looked, especially when just mounted with the lock ring. Nice clean look, but they require a special keyed punch for the hole so they are not hobbyist friendly. Easy to use if you mount using the flange and lock ring. Sunn used those sockets.

Thanks for the reply, yes they are very neat and look great. The sockets I have are quite rugged too.

The Amphenol brand were very high quality. I've worked on a lot of military and FAA equipment that used them. They were also a bit more pricey than 'regular' sockets.

Angela used to carry all this kind of stuff...maybe dig thru here:

Yes that is a great place for different types and sizes of tube sockets.

Page 5 has the 9 pin and 8 pin tube socket plates.

Those plates won't work. Gotta have this flange and lock ring for those sockets.

I am glad I found this topic. I found a bag of the Amphenol ones and could not for the life of me figure out how they mounted. The only drag is that a 1/8" thick Dumble style chassis is too thick for them.
