[Test-Equipment] Hickok pin plugs

[Avery Comarow]

Fred,

This was NOT the response I was hoping for. You were supposed to respond: 
"Sure, Avery--no problem. I've got a boxful of the things and was wondering 
who the heck would want them."

Would you care to modify your answer?

Shoot! Maybe I'll just change out the 209 to take banana plugs.

Cheers,
Avery W3AVE in Potomac, Md.
