Re: Looking for a tube socket for Gravitar

You might also switch to a raster style base cap. This would require
pulling a neck board socket from a G07, 4600, 4900, Nintendo, or old TV
set (my favorite) and using it to replace the socket on the WG6100
neckboard. Then find a raster style base cap to put on the tube. I've
done this with a hybrid amplifone/wg monitor (used amplifone tube/yoke
with WG6100 electronics after replacing the socket on the neckboard).
