crappyjones123 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I had a problem with the last amp i built with pcb mounted sockets where the tubes werent straight (probably because the sockets werent parallel to the board. anyone have any tips on how i can get the sockets all mounted level so the tubes can stick out straight?

digger945 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Put a tube in the socket, then use chipquik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I usually use strips of masking tape to hold stuff on the board while I solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I usually just solder the sockets from the top, one leg first and then another on the opposite side so I can adjust if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holland Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I do the same. It also helps to push it down, hard so it sits closer to the board. Solder from the top, and then adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
