[ARC5] IN-83 Question

[J. Forster]

A couple of years ago, I was looking for some IN-83s and found that they
are still being made for high temperature wiring. Omega, among others,
sells them new. They are slightly different size than the genuine IN-83s,
but it'd take a micrometer to really know which is which.

I eventually got the real IN-83s.

Best,

-John
