Hi Ippolit, thank you.
I am especially looking for this type:
Due to the rarity, I'd like 10 of them, if the price is right,
I know these were made in the USSR in the PLK(?) factory for sockets I think.

Yea I mailed Anton from GSTubes and he replied that he used to sell them for about $10.
And thats without any volume discount.
Draw your own conclusions...

This socket were sold only at GSTube. This is a Russian made socket and no other Russian shop had stocked it, so the only change is GSTube re-stock it.Hi Ippolit, thank you.

I suggest you put some stress at GSTube to replenty, there is other people that may want this socket too.
OK, so I could go with the Teflon sockets as Mark suggest, it is expensive but Teflon is a great resonance sink.
A great base to tubes or transformers. Try ask it to Mr.Clark at this site:

Also a cheap reliable socket at GSTube: This bakelite is very good, I had some.

A final word of Caution, stay away of this kind of sockets:

Cause the claw pins are very unsuited to any tube, after some time the bad contacts appear.

Ye Gods, you spend lots of money on the main amp but quibble on sockets. Teflon sockets at these temps are SH*t, (Dielectric creep) plus noxious outgassing!
Buy Russian normal sockets and replace as required, you have to be carefull with these hi gm valves, dirty contacts will cause problems!!
The Bakelite Sockets (Mobile Apps) are good for 829 and 6c41 but not for 6c33, the contacts are too small, and the heater current will fry the contacts.

The teflon ones are really nice but I'm just not willing to spend that kind of money on sockets. $20 is just about my limit for a per-socket price.
Although $35 is more reasonable than the $50 or more for the Yamamoto's.
The Russian one's I'm looking for seem like the next best thing or even better than the teflon ones to me really. They look like they last forever, provide excellent contact pressure and conductivity without arcing and look like they could act as a heatsink to the tube a bit.
I'm Dutch, what do you expect?
But my gut feeling was Ceramic > Teflon so it may very well be better in the long run to have Ceramic sockets.
I've got a couple of the original Russian sockets (need some more though), they're pretty much the same as the Johnson ones and I was planning on using them, but I started this thread over a month ago and I was wondering if anyone else would come along that may know where to get these. I have a few of the Chinese ones too but I might as well throw those away.
From the ebay guy that sold them for $80 per 10? Those are pretty decent sockets yeah. I might take you up on your offer.
Found some on Fleabay. Not cheap though..
