[ARC5] Simpson 260 Leads

You can buy adapters that allows to use the hooded plugs on the  banana jacks.
They work quite well.

I have forgotten exactly when they did it but the later 260’s had the OSHA forced hooded or shrouded banana connectors.  Which will not fit the standard banana socket unless you carefully cut the hood off.  The rational for the change was to make it  impossible for the user to touch the bare banana pin when it was only partially inserted into the socket.  One of my several 260’s has those but I forget what Series it is.

I also have aSimpson 260, one that is rather unusual in that it comes with a "roll top" cover.

Fair Radio Sales Co sells a number of different type test leads.  They may not be original to the  260 but at least some are real test leads  By the way, the biggest problem I have found with those cheap digtal VOMs they sell at Harbor Freight is that the test leads are rather fragile and irrepairable once the wire breaks off the probes.  And a set of good test leads will cost you as much as the meter.
