The socket itself is a separate piece from the actual cup but it was glued in place during manufacture.

Thanks!!

I measured my socket. It is a bit bigger: 3 3/8" screw hole to screw hole and 2 5/8" diameter. It has an octal socket and a corona ring holds the socket in place with solder (as originally manufactured).

Would this fit?

It would only work if it it didn't have to go through that hole in the chassis.In other words if it was made like my zenith color HV cup.It has a flat bottom and everything comes out of 1 side.I could rewire the HV wires for something like that.
