YES !
NEWZED has done some really great projects with me (if you need help
on a budget), anyway... on a board he did for me, he insisted on the
machined sockets, not the really cheap sheetmetal ones.
The gold machined ones are less than a buck, the sheet metal ones
less than a dime. HUGE difference in quality.
For this broken pin use, the machined pin style is well worth the
extra quarters.
I have not used the wire wrap style and assumed (yeah, I know) that
they had thicker and square pins and would not fit into a socket
easily.
