[Test-Equipment] Triplett 310 leads was Re: Simpson 269 Series III

[Barry]

Hi Ed,

I'd seen the Probe Master site but had forgotten that Triplett still sells the 310 so those leads are also available.  Sometimes I let the fact that I got something inexpensively influence my decisions to buy things for it that are more expensive than I'd like to pay and I need to look at the overall price instead.  I mostly would like to replace the short red lead from the AC clamp as that one is not in good shape and I can use one of the mini-banana to some other fitting for that and can worry about the leads separately.

Thanks again for the pointers!

Thanks,
Barry - N4BUQ
