[Amps] not sockets, only exchanging tubes

[John T. M. Lyles]

I hope I didn't imply that I was replacing sockets. I am only 
replacing the triodes in the sockets. The chimneys are, however 
different between the 3-400 and 3-500 versions, due to the increased 
height of the 500. Also the plate cap/heat radiator is integral on 
the 400 and a separate larger device on the 500.
