Tom,
I agree, it would be nice to not have to replace the socket with screws. That brings up something that I have been thinking about for quite some time. I agree that if one wishes to keep originality, those rivets would be nice to have. So, does anyone know where or who makes the old style rivets? Surely someone knows where to get them? That would make replacing a socket a lot easier.
