RE: Just outta curiosity

It is possible to remove the octal bases and have them plated.....
t is also possible to use those pen style plating machines to plate the pins.

That being said, I generally find the gold plated pins to be slightly warmer than their original non plated counterparts. Also be careful: in areas with high humidity using the gold plated pin stuff and silver plated sockets can lead to electrolytic interactions, mostly negative.

FWIW and YMMV

PS I've the switcheroo with ceramic base 807's BTW
