I have a board I have been planning on changing the cpu socket (socket 3 ZIF, 486) for a week or 2 now. I got a few Socket 1 sockets LIF (low insertion force) the black sockets you just push the cpu in then carefully pull it out.

It would be more beneficial to swap the socket 3 for a socket 3 which is easier to insert the cpu because there is the lever and there is more pins pentium over drive.

Alto I will probably only use 486 - 5x86 chips on this board its always nice to use the best part for the job.

There is nowhere in Google I could find anybody sells these, I know I am late 20-25 years to the party so don't blame nobody for stocking it. I know some people use donor boards but I have none beyond repair.

Before I go and install a brand new socket 1 thought id ask maybye ill get lucky

I don't think there's any available now unfortunately. However if you find a totally rusty board (out of repair) you can salvage its socket ^^

That is what I was thinking too, ah well I won't feel bad installing the socket 1 then, finding a rusty beyond repair board is also not that easy for me
