12QP4 base repair

[Electronic M]

Reminds me of a Philco split chassis I sold at the ETF. Found the thing at a thrift with the back off and the CRT socket knocked off and destroyed. I had to unbend the leads coming from the glass and attach wires to thread a new base on. I used long lengths of single strand phono pickup wire of the same length. I could bend them and thread them one by one then slide the base down....Worked like a charm.
