Jack I have successfully removed pins from other sockets and inserted them
into the desired socket. Look at how the pins are locked in and use either
a set of long nose pliers or a small jeweler's flat blade screwdriver to
remove them.
Then careful insert them into the desired socket. I have managed to do that
on 9 pin octal, 7 & 9 pin miniature as well. Just takes a little work.
There is a tang that holds the pins in place. Just straighten it to get the
lock past the shoulder and push the pin out with a tube or sharp pointed
pick.

My new Ranger gets stranger by the minute.
Inspecting the modulator section, not only are the tubes missing but the
cathode pin (8) has never been soldered to. As far as I can tell,it
should be connected to 8 on the other socket.
Furthermore, two of the pins on this socket are missing and they are not
unused pins. The sockets are riveted in so installing a new one would be
a pain to say the least.
Question: can new pins be inserted into such a socket to repair it? If
so, where would one get replacement pins?
Thanks,
