Aha! Then you're probably using chimneys and a blower. I usually use
horizontal cooling with axial fans, and blow the air both above and
below the socket, so the pins stay cool. Different approach!

sockets
Thanks Steve for that information.
I actually have quite a few of those those Ceramic Sockets in EF
Johnson. I was fortunate enough to get a substantial collection of
various QRO parts directly from the estate of the Amp Man himself Bill
Orr W6SAI (rest his soul) in Palo Alto. I always liked the other
plastic sockets because of their super air flow capabilities around the
pins.
