"The reason you're replacing the sockets is because the original
manufacturer used some cheapo sockets to begin with.
Why not head off future similar problems by using machine pin sockets
instead of more cheapo sockets?
"
are machined pin sockets more reliable than a good brand (say AMP) of
tin double-wipe sockets? As the surplus supply of cheap through hole
machined pin sockets drops here in the valley, i've been using more
and more of the AMP sockets when doing repairs, and haven't had any
problems. I've had more problems with pins breaking due to corrosion
on older boards than with the sockets themselves..
