Well, yes, I would think so. But, what is the base metal of the tube pins? Could it promote corrosion of the tube pins where they're gouged?

I looked into the Azuma sockets a while back.
The only available info on the metal was gold plating, so I assumed the
base metal is MM (mystery metal).
I went with Belton sockets and never looked back.
Yes, maybe if the gouge is that deep.
How long are your output tubes going to last anyway?

I was wondering, if the pins corrode due to the gouging, it might constitute another kind of contact problem during the useable lifetime of the tube, no? Kicking some thoughts around.
In my DIY 300b mono block amplifiers I have old school, USA made, fork type sockets for the rectifier tubes and there is no gouging that has reached the base metal and no corrosion visible.
These amps have been around for....I do know...maybe 10 years.
