ECL86 replacement socket

Hello all:

I need to replace an ECL86 board mounted socket.  It is a 9 pin socket with a center shield that looks to be grounded.  Does anyone know where I can find that type of socket?  Can it be replaced with a 9 pin socket that isn't grounded?

Thanks for any help.

Hello Mark,

please check these ebay.de auctions: 363033725052 , 362965552894 , 362691166280 , 363033725042

These are used sockets with grounded center shield, but nice old quality from around the 1960s. And the seller (it's not me ...) will ship worldwide.

Regards

Thank you Bernhard.  I hadn't checked international ebay, only US.  I appreciate it.

Thank you.  That's what I thought.  My schematic does not show it being grounded which is why I asked.
