I've done that, but this may be more complex than needed. The sockets 
pins are wired to the pcb with jumpers, so basically I need the hole 
diameter in the board, an elliptical conductor clearance spec, and the 
two mounting boltholes for its metal mount ring.

However, on loading it into a pcb buffer, that looks like exactly what I 
need. Mounting boltholes might need expanding to clear a std (on this 
side of the pond :) #6-32 screw.  But I can edit that I believe.

Thank you very much Erich Heinzle. Now, the next thing I need is the 
measurements for the overall board size, which will have to be a SWAG 
because its edges are hidden under the mounting clamp strips.  I have to 
go up and replace a failed capacitor, a 12.5 kilovolt .004 u-f capacitor 
rated at 12 amps of RF currant in the megahertz frequency range, this 
morning as soon as my extra pain pill kicks in and I go fix my cane 
which got some JBWeld applied to a couple cracks where the handle screws 
into the top of the stick. I may be able to get a tape measure and 
record those SWAG measurements while I am there.

I am 81 yo, and have a couple worn out, collapsed discs in my back, so I 
have difficulty because of the pinched Sciatic nerve.  But in this neck 
of the woods, I am the last "radio engineer" that fixes things. I seem 
to be the end of a dying breed I guess.

Subtract 40 lbs and add 12 years to the pix on the front page of my site 
if you'd like to see who I am. That site (see sig) isn't on a web 
server, its actually this machine.

Thanks again.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
