[R-390] Tube Extenders

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 16:21:43 -0500

Yes Dave...I tried it using the solid core wires as the pins.....
found it not easy to plug/unplug, and not very reliable contact, 
(probably due to me using the wrong gauge of wire. Seemed 
easier to use an actual socket - there's nothing like an actual 
tube base for plugging into a tube socket.
