Wow, that's a tall order.
Looks like you may have the only two in existence.
Where in the world did you find those? Do you own a MIG?

Maybe "wavebourn" will know something . He's the resident Russky. Of course you do know the ceramic part is just a standard "septar" socket.
That is a PLK7-1 type Russian standard socket for a power triode valve.
Maybe try one of the Russian valve suppliers? Sovtec etc?? Or an importer like PM Tubes???

Wow, that is either:
1. Original Steam Punk (before there was a name for it) -or-
2. The inspiration for R2D2

GSTUBE was plenty of these sockets some time ago, as below:
(Seems the stock will be re-plenty ASAP the winter allow.)

But they no had this fancy aluminium top cap, which is a military acessory for mobile aquip.
ALso these claw pins are not good, it present bad contact after some time.
The best pins are the collet/glove type, as in this socket below:
''GSTube.com''. Tubes, sockets etc. Search result for <u>plk7-collet</u>
Yes, they are from a Mig fighter jet. I happened upon them a number of years ago and have been looking for a second pair since. They will be part of a steam punk Tim Mellow OTL someday. I am almost done with two chassis made from Bronze plate with brass riveted copper plates holding the corner together. I don't know about R2D2, but they do look like the Andriod guy.

By the way, here is the stand that will hold the two chassis. I made this to hold my John Hogan line stage and 300B amp, but I sold the amps and kept the stand. The power side for the OTL will be on the bottom and the signal side will be on the top. I think the Bronze chassis will look great on the stand.
I think having all four 6C33C tubes in those Mig retainers would really set it off.

That will be awesome. Congrats on the design.
I really hope you find a matching pair of sockets, but that's going to be the hard part.

Hi Palmas. Yes, finding the normal sockets is not hard. A friend of mine has a hand full of them, but what I would really like to find is those Mig sockets with the springs and top retainer. They just look cool.
Tube sockets
Hi ,
going and ask "Fair Radio Sales", an US surplus dealer. Fair Radio is located in Lima, Ohio. Fair Radio Sales Company Inc.
This Company purchase truckloads of mil. equipment from the US army, most of these equipment will be dismantled and going in parts onto the market.
Fair Radio is a good source for "special parts" which we are in need for homebrewing tube amps.

Hi Wolfgang. I called them last year and they never see these sockets. They have my name and number though.
