The correct answer may be yes--I've never tried an 811A in an 866 socket. Do the 811A's have the alignment pin on the side like an 866A?
Either way, a regular 4-pin socket (ceramic preferred of course) also works just fine. The same socket that holds your type 80 rectifier in your 1932 Philco, works just fine for the 811A. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Schmidling Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 8:15 PM To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 811A Socket crawfish wrote: > Yes. I got "tricked" on a socket I bought for my 866 supply. I thought all 4 pin ceramic sockets were the same as long as the hole size was the same. I bought a pair of Johnson types only to find they were to big by about a half inch. I had to rearrange things to get it in. So, I still need one of the smaller ones and will use the two Johnson ones for the 811's if they fit. It looks like what I need is on the back of the Fair Radio catalog but I have to call to make sure.
