[R-390] R390 Looking for more strange parts.

Hi Roger,

Here is a on-line shop that sells the 9 pin with wires attached.  They
don't carry the 7 pin.  Please let us know if you find the 7pin

Fellows, 

I am looking for some more parts. Once upon a time you could find both 7

and 9 pin plugs that mated with the tube sockets. The plugs come with a
length 
of plastic tube that formed a shell / cover /case. You soldered up
things 
on the plug (transistor stuff that mimic tubes), placed the plastic tube
over 
the stuff and potted that. This made a nice thing to plug into a tube 
socket. Once upon a time a Fellow in northern California was making
solid-state 
tubes substitutes this way. I really would like 3 or 4 of the 9 pin
models of 
these plugs and shells. I have not been able to find any of them on the 
Internet. Any ideas where to look? I want to stuff two with a diode to
make a 
26Z5 replacement. I want to stuff a 3rd with a 5 watt 47 ohm resistor to
fake 
a ballast tube. The R390 I am working on is like virgin. I see no need
to 
start soldering under the deck if I can just make up some nice
reversible 
plug in sand state devices.

Thanks
