These are so-called "universal test lead sets," manufactured by Elwyn Inc.
for the US military. P/N 102, 6625-01-121-0510, date code 1988-90. Each kit
has two rubber-insulated lengths of test wire, one red and one black, about
54 inches long. A color-matched test prod with a threaded hole at the
working end is hardwired to one end of each wire; a color-matched thing
(looks like the body of a phone plug), also with a threaded hole, is wired
to the other end. The threaded holes accept various threaded adapters, as
follows: 2 banana plugs, 2 phone tips (short), 2 phone tips (long), 2
needle tips, 2 spade lugs, 2 alligator clips, and 2 insulated boots to
cover the alligator clips. The adapters thread into either end of the test
lead. Put a banana plug on one end and a needle tip on the test prod and
you've got a conventional test lead. Replace them with the two alligator
clips and youve got an instant jumper. Do whatever you need for the job at
hand. New in sealed packages. Each kit comes in a carry pouch.
I've seen these kits sold for up to $12 each, which is a blatant ripoff. I
bought a lot of 10, will keep one, and offer the others for $4 each. That's
within pennies of what I paid. Add $3 for shipping, which should just about
cover mailing costs.
One per customer, please.
