1. Stand the tube on it's face.
2. Put a drop of liquid flux on top of each pin location.
3. Try to form a small solder ball on top of each location making sure it's stuck to the pin.
4. Locate some stiff solid core copper wire of the same guage as the pins.
5. Cut them so they are about 4 inches long and tin one end. This gives you something to hold onto while you line it up.
6. Re-melt your solder ball and poke the tined end in centered and at the correct angle.
7. Use your Sencore CR7000 to test the tube.
8. If all is well, slide on the plastic key and epoxy well in place.
9. After the epoxy has cured, cut the new pins to the required length.
That's the best I can think of with only two cups of coffee in me 
Good luck |
That is a REALLY good idea I must say! If it were me I would definitely give it a try.
So you mean with the epoxy to actually use the plastic key with epoxy to help reinforce the pins with the key. That way the solder doesn't have to hold the pins when the socket is put on and off the tube. Really good idea
