[ARC5] Ceramic insulator beads

Maybe you could find a source for small disks (like your washers, but 
without the hole) and drill your own hole to fit the wire.

I have a couple of original bead assemblies.  The ends have a "washer"
soldered on them

to hold the beads, but it's like a small "fender" washer; about 1/4 
inch or
3/8ths with a tiny

hole in the center, just big enough for the wire.  Never seen a fender
washer that small.

I've tried using a regular washer and backfilling with solder, and also
stacking washers.

The results look like crap.

Anyone have any idea where one would find such a weird animal?
