[Amps] Eimac Socket SK-800A

[Bob Maser]

Yes, there are 4 little contact on each sector and, no, the screen capacitor 
is not sealed with goop.  In fact, I cannot see the dielectric between the 
screen sectors and the base,  I have asked Eimac to supply me with some 
replacement Mylar wafers.  Hopefully they will and maybe even supply me with 
some goop, otherwise my search for a good socket continues.  I saw a guy at 
Dayton that had one each A & B but I wasn't sure that I was going to proceed 
with the 4CX1500B amp  at that time so I didn't buy the B model from him.

Hi Bob,
   Two possiblities from the time closet...

   Are the contacts made with 4 little contacts on each sector?  The "B's" 
are flat & solid.

   Is the screen capacitor sealed with colored goop? The "B's" are so 
treated.

   Neither difference will affect your usage.
