Re: Looking for a tube socket for Gravitar

Another possibility... is if the connector has more pins than is actually
wired/used, you may be able to do some surgery and steal a pin from an
unused spot and put it in the spot where the broken one is....

Just an idea... however, it may be all pins are needed.
