Source for 9-pin (preamp) tube bases???

[waspclothes]

Hey guys,
I know CEDIST has 8 and 4 pin tube bases, but I'm looking for a 9-pin preamp tube base. I know none of the tubes I've ever seen at this size have separate bases, but I'm looking for something I can use to connect wires to. I want to add a few components between the socket and the actual tube (sort of like a yellowjacket I guess) and I can't think of any way to get the male 9 pin base without cannibalizing an existing tube (and even then, that doesn't sound fun). Any recommendations??

Thanks, but that is a female socket. I'm looking for a male base with 9 pins sticking out that can fit into the socket you posted.

Did you follow the link? There are several "socket savers" listed that might fit the bill. The question is whether or not the device can be opened up for modification without breaking it.

Didn't think it was going to be that easy.

Yes they do. Attached are gut shots. However, the base with the pins sticking out is not an independent sub-assembly which is what I think you want.

Is this what you are looking for? I have several available.

Hi Scrimpus, that looks perfect (especially if it doesn't already come with wires attached). I will PM you about this part, thanks.

I cant PM you back for some reason. PM me your email.
