Hi Neil!  Thanks!  Mouser has some

The "Shrink DIP 64" sockets are not common but still available.
Sometimes on eBay has good deals.

Manufacturers Winslow and Harwin make the Shrink DIP 64 socket

This is a pretty good place too.  I think I got mine here quite a
while ago.  Prices are reasonable too.

Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress!  Thanks and have
a nice day!
