[ARC5] Simpson 260 Leads

[Robert Downs]

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.
