Well the bid was over on 10-Aug, but I did send a note to the seller and
asked him to forward it to the purchaser. Three items had been sold, and I
am hoping the purchaser might want to sell me one of the kits.

I appreciate your comment and advice. My L-4B is in near mint
condition, and I am leery about making mods to the amplifier,
although I have updated the series HV electrolytics and diodes in the
power supply. My current thinking is to jury-rig a connector by using
tinned #10 copper wire!

You might be in luck - looks like this eBay seller may still have one of
the factory conversion kits available. Try contacting him.

Well, either you or I are misreading the auction status. I think there
were 3 items available and only two buyers.

Yes, you are correct! I did read it incorrectly, two purchasers each wanted
1 item, and so I am hoping my e-mail to the seller will get results. In the
meantime I have tried a piece of 3/32" brass rod and it fits perfectly. What
I should do is buy some epoxy and improvise a plug body, but the temptation
is to just solder a piece of shielded cable to two short pieces of rod and
plug them in. No harm is done if they are plugged in incorrectly, the
amplifier will just run all the time, and I think that would be noticed
immediately.

Sounds like you've got it under control, John.

Good luck - just out of curiousity and completeness, please post back
and let us know whether the eBay'er is able to provide you with the
conversion kit. In the meantime your homebrew plug should work just
fine.
