I had the same thing happen with a 21" Silvertone roundie in the early 1970s. I tried to replace the 6AW8 video output tube and, when I plugged the replacement into the socket (or tried to--the tube had a bent pin and wouldn't go in straight), the socket broke out of the board with a sickening crunch.
