There are a few different kinds of 6C33C sockets available.
On ebay most of the sockets are Chinese clones of Russian sockets.
Chinese: PAIR GOLD 829B 826 TM-30 832B 6C33C Ceramic Tube Sockets B7A Base FREE SHIPPING | eBay
Russian: Ceramic Socket 6C33C 6S33S 6C41C GU32 GMI-6 1pc.or more | eBay
The Russian ones are better but they both have an issue where they have trouble handling the current for the heaters due to poor contact surface and pressure on the pins. Running the heaters at 12v mitigates this issue, but the sockets remain less than ideal
But the one I'm interested in is this one:
This seems like an ideal socket, but I haven't been able to track this type of socket down.
Does anyone know where I might procure such a socket?
PS:
A while ago someone in the UK started selling a teflon version, which is also interesting: 13E1 6C33CB QQV0640A Valve Tube Base Socket PTFE | eBay
but I prefer the ceramic Russian ones.

... has a quite decent choice of sockets, although some of them quite expensive.

Have a look at these guys. They have a number of 7-pin sockets, you might find what you're after.

I bought a bunch of stuff from them and the service was good.

Iam waiting this socket for months at GSTube, the GSTube price was just 8 euros each, I will continue wait the re-stock at GSTube.
You have harmed all users of 6C33.
look if you need 4 pcs:
GS price: 8€/pcs = 32€
bank costs: 15€ (GS do not have PAYPAL ACC)
Transport : 20$ = 15€
goverment tax 7% (32€+15€)= 3€
VAT 20%(32€+15€) = 10€
total: 75€!!! for 4pcs = 18.75€/pcs.
So my earning is 1.25€/pcs!!
I need 4 in total, but have a lead on two from another seller who is offering $26 for 2. So depending on if he sells them to me or not I need two, or four.
It still seems very expensive and I doubt you paid full price for them if you bought 240 at once.
I suggest you send email do Anton/GSTube asking for the sockets. Surely he can re-plenty the stock...
