I've just repaired someone's Rogers domestic stereo valve amp. He
wants something doing about the 12 'loose' phono (signal ) sockets on
the rear. These are plated brass of the same material as paxolin
backed
tag board. Thin plated brass strip curved both ways ino a cylinder
with a gap so of course opens out over time and use.
They are easily accessible as a side panel is removable
but anything better than just squashing each one with pliers.
Rubber Hellerman sleeve slid over each with 3-jaw expander pliers
is all i can think of but will it work?

It might, but would require unsoldering each to install. Considering the
infrequency with which these are usually disconnected, I think I'd just
'squash' em and be done with it. A dose of Cramolin wouldn't be out of
order....

just thought of cutting small grommet to encircle each then tighten
a small cable tie round each to avoid desoldering everything

Cramolin ?
