Hi again,

Here are some close ups of the ends of my buttset leeds.

I would have posted these earlier, but today was my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, and we had a housefull. Then I had to take an unexpectd cross-country jog to retrieve our retriever that a grandkid let out of the yard...

Needless to say, I was exhausted.

Anyway, here are the pics...







Please note, that the sleeves are not 'fixed'. They freely slide up and down the cable. I forgot to include a known object to scale the rings to. I will do that tomorrow if anywould like to see it.

Here are some photos of the plug assembly...







Arthur, I would be very interested in your offer. PM me!

I hope this helps.

Thanks again!

Joe

Arthur, thanks for all the detailed info - you never cease to amaze me, sir. The only part I didn't understand was the hand-rolled cigarette reference. I have absolutely no idea what you were talking about.

Joe, thanks for all the great pics! I was worried that I was being a PITA by asking, but I see now that you are just as much "into" the details as we are.

Yeah Arthur, I've never heard of a 'roach clip' either

Definitely too small for a standard machine screw in a test clip. Just the right size for a guide-pin screw.

In one photo, it looks like the leads are of uneven length. If so, they attach to a 310 plug. (or a 309 plug, but probably unlikely).

Can you stretch them out all the way, and verify if they are even or uneven?

Even = 360 tools

Uneven = 310 plug

------------------

There was a time during the wacky 1970's that all my non-company friends would always ask me to get them a 419A roach clip. They made great party favors and birthday gifts for those who didn't exhale.

Oh dear, I must be having a senior moment (or a hand-rolled cigarette moment)

The one I have that terminates in a 310 plug has the outer woven sheath go all the way into the handle of the plug, ( DUH ).

Why would there be a necessity for two separate leads, if they both wind up in the same place (the plug?)

So, the answer is: 360 tools.

TTY, I need your mailing address and the tools will be on the way.

Hi Arthur,

I PMed my address to you.

Thankyou again!

Joe
