Rob,

The only Russian 6C33C sockets I have ever seen are white ceramic with silver plated contacts.. never came across any brown (mica?) parts.

In the older days, each 6C33C shipped with one of these white ceramic sockets, right in the box with the new tube. I'd be slightly skeptical of others sold as 'original Russian'.

What are the prices like?

  Hi Bill,
  They are priced at $22.00 plus $12.00 postage for 4 sockets. Here's the link:

    Rob,

    Interesting, I've never seen that type of socket for the 6C33C. They do look like quality parts, though.

    The price seems fair, I'd give them a try.

      I bought a few of those brown ones. I haven`t used them yet so
      realy don`t know how they will hold up but the tubes go in real
      easy. I was expecting more contact pressure. I now wish I had gone
      with the ceramic ones.
