Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Socket Mounting

Those are Chinese sockets, so I really don't know how well they'll work. Personally, I would toss 'em and hunt up some real EFJ made-in-USA sockets for a project like this. They're pretty common on eBay.

The other potential issue mounting this style socket with nothing underneath is the fact there are only two through-holes. That raises the possibility the sockets will rock and loosen over time. A company like Front Panel Express can probably cut round mounting plates to support the sockets from underneath. It would be worth sending them a sketch to find out.
