Initially, I was going to remove the remains of the existing socket and replace it. Possibly with a donor from a dud tube.

Now that I've inspected it closer, I think I'll try to build it up with something like 2-part epoxy. All 5 pins and the center key are in good shape. So is the entire circumference of the end of the base.

Reading all the warnings on that CRT are making me a little nervous of messing around with it.
