Default 0.125" and 0.156" pins for 7-pin tubes.

The Molex 0.093" pins work great for wiring up tubes with octal
bases or the same size pins (like CRTs), but I can't seem to find
0.125" and 0.156" similar pins for those old style 7-pin tubes.

Anyone know of a source, or someone who still makes the socket
pins (I've check Keystone, Amp, Molex and a few others). I prefer
the pins to the sockets as it makes the wiring easier (in my case
CRTs).


Look at the crimp pins used on the Amphenol Series 96 connectors and
see if you can't make some of those work. There are a wide variety
of sizes and they are very reliable. They get used for all kinds of
things.

If that doesn't do it, try the Concord catalogue. I think I saw some
machined pin sockets in there. I don't think Mill-Max makes anything
big enough.
