Sockets are not fun to change. Best to check for shorts between adjacent pins as well as pin to chassis. If you have a dud tube that fits the socket use the base of that tube as an adaptor and measure base to socket continuity for each pin. If you don't have a base try probing the pin contact and measuring from that to the solder tab.
Gentle wiggling of the solder tab may reveal intermittent opens
