Mac Classic - available sockets for MicroMac Performer?

Thruhole PLCC68 sockets seem to be available. Is this what folks have been saying is unobtanium?

What is this?These are Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) Sockets. IC test sockets are devices that test the performance and electrical connection of IC devices to check whether the components work. Dual in-line package components can be mounted on the circuit board by through-hole mounting, or...

There seem to be a few listings for thruhole sockets and plenty for SMT Socket listings. The sockets on Performer boards for the Classic look deeper, is that the problem and neither available socket type is usable?

There is no problem with the availability of PLCC sockets in general. You just need one which sticks on the non-socketed, soldered PLCC chip from above. This is a very rare use case! You could buy a few different sockets and try them. Maybe some will work.

I don't know if there's a consensus on the socket model used by Pistorm600 assemblers, but if there is it might help determine an appropriate model.
