I have 3 presiden washington 858 pll radios I rebuilt a couple years ago and one the socket was bad in also. what I did was removed the socket and soldered the ribbon cable to the main board. the ribbon on this one was long enough to reach the solder locations. the radio is still working that way. may be a option on yours also if you are careful with it.
