Sorry I neglected to respond to your post in the other thread.

Yes, those will work, but you don't need all that tube clip wire stuff. You just need the socket with lug connections, and the chassis mount ring like so:

This one is available at PartsConnexion in Canada (they are a forum sponsor).

Here's a listing on e-bay - note that it says, "Chassis Mount"

:
Vacuum Tube Sockets 7Pin Ceramic/New( 10) Chassis Mount

There are many tube dealers that have them, too.

Being in Canada, they do International all the time. I'm fairly sure that they just handle it in stride, since most of their business is International, I believe. You can certainly contact them if you want.

You are fine if you use those without those clips, but the gold ones at PCX are pretty nice. It's all I use on the MAX, the PCB ones, that is. Their gold PCB 7-pins are the only gold ones that I know of - all others are silver/tin. You can find gold 9-pins and other styles in a lot of places - but not the 7-pins used on Milletts. I'm sure that gold chassis-mount version sets the standard for quality, too.
