Yay! Got one! Ebay 151502733003. Seems in nice condition, and cheap enough.
Will be a while before it gets here, and fingers crossed it works. From seller's description that's not guaranteed.
Just so long as that tiny gold plated unobtainium varactor is OK.
This also happened with ICs and IC sockets although in this case it may have been helped along by those cheap edge wipe sockets Texas Instruments made which were unusually unreliable.
Arrgh! Those damned TI sockets... how I hated them. How did TI manage to make anything so flakey? I never could decide if it was mainly due to the very weak and stretchy spring contacts, or the plating which seemed to become non-conductive.
Before learning about those, I once made the mistake of constructing a fairly complex prototype board with them, and point to point soldered kynar wire. Urrrgh...
After that I always used Augat machined pin sockets. Expensive, but they never failed.
