Help identifying RCA XL-100

Watch out for the vert module socket They crack & go int.
If left running it will burn the module. Leave it alone for now, just in case.
Otherwise its a solid set.

If the socket's cracked, is there any recourse?

Is it some kind of proprietary RCA part or can I get it from an electronics parts retailer like Mouser?

Seems I vaguely remember using epoxy to fix a few of those. Had to 'brace' it a certain way to hold until the epoxy cures.

You could try the old RCA OEM distributors. Other than that
maybe glue it. The board comes with the big long heat
sink also. Changing the socket requires full chassis pull thats why I say
only if needed.
BTW the sockets all look the same at a a glance but some are different.

Same. Sometimes a small piece of plastic could wedge the socket to something nearby to close the gap before applying. The trick was to use a *small* amount of two part epoxy and hold the socket together using a hemostat if I couldn't wedge it until the epoxy set.
