BTW, is there still a source for the old-style strip

that machined pins are a "better choice", but I was curious if it was
still possible to get period mountings.
Machined-pin sockets were available back then (e.g., Augat), and
that's what anyone sensible used if they could afford it. So there's
nothing wrong with using machined-pin sockets to build one today. New
machined-pin sockets are not any less "authentic" than new dual-beam or
single-beam sockets.
