I thought I had both leads but somehow one of those either got away from me or I imagined both.  In any case, the one I have is in pretty poor condition and I'm looking for new leads.  Anyone know if what is now known as mini-banana plugs are correct for this meter?  If so, I should be able to fashion some new leads with some replacements.  BTW, the 310 appears to work in all modes I tested including the AC clamp. <snip>

Hi, Barry

The leads you want for the Triplett 310 series 
is their part number 79-153, which has the needle point.
Mine have an "M" impressed in the mini banana plug, which indicates
the manufacturer.

You should be able to find a cheaper source.  I bought some leads about 20 years ago, when I was acquiring Triplett 310's,
and I recall the price for a set was closer to $10 then.
I guess $25 now is like $10 then.  I'm getting old.

Here's a place that seems to sell the equivalent mini-banana leads, but without the alligator clips:
