Retention tube sockets or replace?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I have an amp with older Cinch 9 pin tube sockets.
I have retentioned them once a few years ago, but they seem to be a little loose again?
Should I try to retention them a second time, or replace them?
I have NOS Cinch, QQQ (Japan), and Belton (Korea) 9 pin tube sockets.
