For the MK IV you might want to consider this extender: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pomona-Electronics-Vectron-Model-1449-9-Pin-Tall-Tube-Socket-Test-Fixture-/151839808329?hash=item235a5b9b49.
 
It looks funky and is expensive. But it will clear the MK IV's rear tube guards without having to remove them. I use the 7 pin version for the drivers. Of course, you will also need the adapter already suggested to you by MIKELAP.

Are the pins on these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Gold-plated-6SN7-6n8p-CV181-TO-6CG7-6FQ7-tube-converter-adapter-/201115946751?hash=item2ed371ceff&rmvSB=true) long enough? I tried these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/221065459067?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) and they couldn't fit into the mk iii because of the brass ring.

i  bought the second pair of adapter but i removes those steel rings in the back with a Dremel. or buy some 9 pin extenders that you add to the 6cg7 to 6sn7 adapters

Wow, that is pretty brutal. Nice work. Unfortunately I don't have the tools to do this, and I can't seem to find the extenders on eBay :/

 

[MIKELAP]

I got them at Parts Connexions.in Canada.

I found the extenders. As it turned out, they are called socket savers on eBay. I guess that's the correct name for it technically.

I ordered a pair of this http://www.ebay.com/itm/251979290919 because of the quality plus Priority Mail shipping option. Would that work? I know those adapters work for the  6080 / 6AS7G with the UPS workaround (in case I want to go that route). Have not bought the tubes yet, still deciding, thanks for your input.

I pointed out to you the other adapters  because those cmc type sockets are good quality those are the types of sockets Woo Audio uses in there amps  .Also the lead solder from the pins that protrudes from under your  sockets i dont like that i prefer when everything is enclosed its safer imo.

I don't think if you can used that adapter it is a fire hazard those exposed terminals could come in contact with the chassis and you will see the magic smoke.
It's a high quality materials but it is very poorly assembled.I have seen some nice looking DIY adapters that was posted in this thread way better than the one in the picture.

Like this one.

Just kidding

Definitely wouldnt try those i would rather wait a month and order from China or maybe some seller has safer adapters made in U.S.A.

I guess thats where the inspiration came from when we received a jolt we didnt feel a thing lol lol

Shame, I paid for the adapters already , I emailed the seller and asked if he could cover the terminals... somehow.. Anyway, I decided to go for the 6SN7GTA SYLVANIA  also got a pair of Siemens C3G-S with adapters I purchased on the head-fi trade forum.

I hope your vendor will do something about it(You should mention to the vendor that that product is unsafe),GOOD LUCK!
