The TI C-95 model of socket is known to be a problem.  
'''TI made some bad IC sockets''' back in late 1970's.
A typical high quality replacement would be a Mill-Max machined-pin DIP socket.   
They are easy to identify since they grip the IC pins along the edge of the pin and not the flat body of the pin.

Both parts are non-RoHS since the solder-tail (PCB end) is also lead-tin plated.
