Count me in as a nonfan of locktals. The very first Philco I ever worked on had these, and me with my new tube tester, I put the first tube in the proper socket and...pssssshhhhh! I had broken my first vacuum tube! I guess those tiny pins got torqued just enough to break something in the base. No wonder they didn't last.
