I'm looking for an air system ceramic socket for an 8877 as part  of my cleanup redesign of HB 6 m HF  amp conversion project that is nearing completion. If you have one  new or nearly new condition that you could sell me please reply directly to me. I'm in the Scotts Valley/Santa Cruz CA area and am willing to travel up to 50 miles. Or if you can direct me to a source of new or NOS sockets at reasonable prIces please pass that info along as well.  The group might  like to see the various sources suggested. If you have a favorite method of modifying a socket to allow for better airflow I'd like to see those as well.  I'm pushing to complete to complete the redesign in time for the late Fall/early Winter sporadic E season. In case you are wondering who did the c onversion and what prompted the redesign;  a ham on the east coast butchered and I'm being kind here, a Drake L4b. I'm gg to make it safer, more reliable and quieter.
