I was not aware that amphenol was still in production of tube sockets. If you are going to purchase vintage, make sure they are NOS and make sure you have pictures. I used to purchase them, and when they come in corroded or a barn find, it is just useless.
On the other hand, as (I think) someone else suggested, Belton sockets are really good. They grip pins very tightly.
Be aware, some (most) amphenol, Belton, etc are larger than the porcelain ones and will not fit directly. Be sure to check the specs of the actual diameter of the socket first.
