Hi All,

I am looking for some 9 and 7 pin PCB mount sockets.

Thanks!

They have several 9 pin PCB types....only seeing 7 pin solder lug types.
Maybe a phoney call to them may yield you some results.

Celt,

Thanks for the link! Those look like they would work for the 9 pin. Sadly, what I really need is 7 pin. I'm still hoping to dig up some older ones, just for appearance. But if I can't, those look great.

BTW, your avatar reminds me of a shirt I once had and my old friend Jed. Best dog in the world, still miss her.

Thanks!

I was hoping to find some older ones here. Now that I have been working on this I realize that I can't find any with the center solder pin. Looking at the PCB of my predicta, I think they might need to be as most of them connect to traces on the PCB. Not sure how important that is.

Thanks!

Ohh for a predicta

Center pin isn't all that important. Easiest would be to find some junk tv or radio chassis and salvage the sockets. Any sort of board mount socket can be made to work. Just
Make sure to use a tube shield if factory did. Probably shouldn't need to change them all on a predicta, on my predicta all the original 7 pin sockets were OK.

Seem like good replacements, they have the center pin. I ordered a full set of them for the Predicta but am only going to replace the bad one. I just wanted some on hand for the future. Thanks for all of the help!
