Tube socket for 3CX1500A7 tube-socket broken


 

Sorry to be a pest guys!!
?
I've become the proud owner of a Dentron DTR-2000L amp with a broken tube socket and a missing cooling fan.
This came from an estate and I'm sure that the SK was not using this amp.?
?
I could use a suggestion on a fan, as I understand that the muffin fan was NOT a good choice for a fan.
The other question is if any one here has had experience with the Chinese sockets on E-Bay.? Here's the auction number.
184967626094.? $38.50 a great price, if the thing is any good.?
?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
?
Thanks!!!

Excuse me for asking but I thought the DTR-2000L had 572B’s and not an 8877?

Yeah,

The porcelain part of the socket are cheap at hamfest, Johnson 273 I believe. ?It gets expensive with the copper grid tabs.

Ah. OK. I have gold plated ones here that I got from Mableaudio many years ago. I know that they do silver as well.

I can add that the sockets have nice spring tension on the pins. That goes for the 3-500Z, 811A/572B and 807 types as well.

Cheers, Alek.

###? ?If I remember correctly, the 1st DTR-2000L's had this mickey mouse fan in there for cooling.? Local dealer had the 1st one in stock.? ? We all laughed when we saw the small fan...that killed sales asap.? Later units had a squirrel cage blower.? Also, I believe the fil V was on the high side on both versions.? That high fil V issue has to be addressed asap, or ur 8877 won't last.? There was no grid over current protection either..... which can save the (megabuck tube).? There was no glitch resistor in the B+....and no step start for the B+.?
This is all stuff that can be sorted out... and has to be sorted out asap.? ? The HV filter caps? should probably be replaced...with 330 uf caps, or bigger.? Once that is all done, it should last.?



 

I located? a spare Johnson #247 socket (8877). Never been soldered on.? Make offer..
