Yes, those old sockets would crack more easily than we realized when we first put out the Paramount. Those are super duper original Paramounts. The lack of solder mask and silkscreening on the driver boards would date them pre-2006 I think.
I believe
these sockets will drop into an old Paramount, though you might need a tight fitting O-ring between the socket and chassis plate to take up some of the extra space.
I might still have one or two of those original sockets sitting around if you just want to replace it.
