14. Tube socket (Part # SK10):
a. Before installing the tube socket, we need to help prepare it to easily seat the tube. These
sockets come a little tight from the factory, so it is helpful to loosen up the place where the tube
pins fit in.
45
Very gently use your awl to slightly widen each of the 12 pin sockets.
46
b. The tube socket is installed on the solder side of the board. The leads may need to be pressed
in slightly for it to fit in the holes.
47
Make sure all the leads are seated firmly and that the socket
is pushed in as close to the board as possible.
48
Double check to make sure that the top of the
socket is parallel to the surface of the board.
c. Solder the leads of tube socket on the component side of the board.
