--Low metal content but I'm searching for a widget for a project in progress. It's a socket to mount an LED. I've found two sources: one surplus that's dried up and the other retail that's *outrageously* expensive. Here's a photo of the part:

Ask for Fitz. He owns the place and they specialize in just the sort of thing you are looking for. They buy up and then resell remaindered electronics components.
Can you use something like this, Steamer?

I think you need to give us a better idea of the application so we can suggest a more appropriate way to do the job.
Why do you need a socket? Do you expect the LED to have to be replaced? There are plenty of nice bezel-type things to mount LEDs on panels, but you have to solder the leads. With the socket you show, you have to solder wires to the socket. Seems the same, as long as the LED is set up so it has a long lifetime.

The bad news is I couldn't find any leds in sockets like your link showed.
