The sockets on the blue dream seem to be less forgiving indeed : I managed to crack an IN-18 not long ago because the pins were not straight enough on that tube I bought on eBay. :-( That was on my latest clock. The 2 blue dream clocks I assembled before that still work well after 3 and 4 years. The tubes for these older clocks where purchased from different sources: GS-tubes sold me ones from '75 and Dieter from '92.
