Oh, like those AMP/Molex types..Seems like some sockets are more prone to this than others, and just because you have a certain chassis doesn't necessarly dictate what socket was used. Yea, I know that supplies on hand can and have changed through production runs.

I've seen this problem before with the style of socket that has the red phonolic back piece on it and rivits-secures near the center. Is this the type of socket you have? Just wondering...

I started looking at a Zenith 25LC30 and that focus pin must have been bad for quite a while as the CRT pin was corroded up too (cleaned up okay-whew!). I took my time slowly prying the two apart. I have not pulled the socket apart (yet) but it appears to have some signs of getting hot.

Not wanting to take away from your thread, but an observation to pass along.
