I have one socket in my SB-220 that seems particularly prone to melting the 
solder out of the filament pins on my 3-500Zs.  I presume this is because the 
spring contacts have gradually lost their temper.  Is it possible to obtain new 
contacts only, and to change them out?  Alternatively, is it feasible to swap 
contacts with the grid pins on this socket, on the assumption that the 
connections have less stringent conditions?
