American UA748 op amps are getting hard to find. Have a batch of UA748's from PRC but I do not want to use them because they show different test results. Anyone ever use a metal can type IC in pcb mounted DIP-8 socket?

Anyone ever use an 8 pin metal can type IC in an 8 pin DIP socket? Does it fallout or stay put?

OK, trying to avoid removing the boards and sockets. I'm at the ordering stage Think I'm going to try it. Leads look long enough. There are metal can-type Fairchild 748's on eBay for approx $10.
Wait a minute, that's a double-sided male pin adapter in the pic? I never saw one before. Yeah that would work. It took me awhile to recognize. thanks

I ordered the Fairchild can. Waiting for it now.
Removed tetrode boards found a cracked trace under a 220 style, 3- terminal regulator. I had tried sockets long time ago but they did not work out, kept coming loose. In a perfect world the parts are soldered in place amp sealed up and never disturbed.
Hombrew reality the 3-terminal Heatsink gets jostled and traces break. Best I can do is lay it down out of the way and/or silver solder.
On the bright side I found the reason for my relay dysfunction. Just s matter of reassembly

found these on ebay. May not need anything though as the Can type 748 delivered today. The leads are long enough to use existing socket......I think. I'm working through the pinout conversion now. Going from AM748 with TO5-8 round can and a regular ua748 8 pin dip.

Worked thanks for suggestion.
