Replacing a shot leg socket and leg insert

RD Bennett · From: Central IL, USA

Hi all! I recently came across a Magnatone console steel with one leg insert somehow permanently threaded into its socket by the previous owner. It took a machine shop to finally get the duo apart, but - as I reasonably suspected before I even got to the shop - the threads on both the socket and the insert are perma-kaput.

I'm now hoping to find the most cost-effective route to getting my steel back on three legs. (The machine shop wasn't interested in helping me fab new ones.)

Here are the parts I now need to replace, just as they came back from the arbor press or whatever brute-forcing they experienced prior to their separation.

Thanks in advance all!

If you don't mind a mismatched set, 2 vintage, 1 modern, there's leg sockets like https://www.sillmusicsupply.com/Alluminum-6061-CNC-socket-to-attach-your-lap-steel-legs_p_23.html

(but you have to buy at least 3...)
