15GP22 socket

[dtvmcdonald]

I tried to use the new socket, but
1) could still not get the three pins out of the old one

2) inspected the old one more and decided to pry the old clips
a bit with a tiny screwdriver and use a tiny bit of deOxit on just the filament pins,
and it worked at least for now

3) original inspection of the new one revealed no back cover like the
old one ... what held the pins in????

Then I saw the pictures of the Model 5 that just sold in New York ...
it uses a socket identical to the new one, and it has no "back".
Another inspection of the new clips show that they are the kind that have
little sharp ears so that once stuck in, they won't easily come out the back.
They can't go out the front due to the back of the clip being bigger than the hole.

I will keep the socket in case my recent attempt on the old socket fails yet again.

But its interesting that the new one was the kind used on that Model 5. Its made by Cinch, not RCA.
