If you already have TP sockets just go with those. The original advice to go with conventional sockets was to let you have the option of plugging the original ICs back in, as 'second hand' ICs are usually easier to use in conventional sockets than in turned-pin ones.

Desoldered ICs can be used in TP sockets, but you have to get the pins really clean / clear of solder first.

Yes, let's cross everything and hope that a new pair of video RAMs moves us a step further forwards.
