I am looking for an assortment of (preferably) NOS tube sockets for tubes that I seldom see here, like Rimlock, 8BA, etc.

I have plenty of the "standard" type sockets here,(Octal, Loctal, min. 7 & 9 pin, etc, and the Septal series) but I need the ones that are more commonly found outside the US.
Preferably, I could use a couple of each style, as I wish to build a tube tester adaptor to be able to check them with.

A couple of years back I bought a huge lot of thousands of tubes, and as I go through them I am finding types I can not test, including some "Wermacht" tubes.

I also collect tube boxes, and would be interested in obtaining older boxes from Oz and NZ companies, and other countries.

Offering to buy, trade for NOS or used tubes from my stash, or trade tube boxes, or ???
Thanks.
Frank B
