Hi Ed,

That is actually possible to do. The first plug I made was done in a similar way. Your way would result in two at a time. But that still takes a considerable amount of time to do. The 8-pin and 9-pin socket savers are cheap enough that it is worth buying them and cutting them up to save time. Dennis Tillman W7PF

You should be able to solder the pins to the lugs on this socket, or epoxy it up to keep it together. It would effectively start as a female-female adapter, with the loose pins joining two sockets face to face - one as an alignment jig, and the other to become the plug assembly once the pins are bonded to it somehow. Any base style that has reverse-axial symmetry could have plugs made in this way. Ed ------------------------------------ Posted by: edbreya@yahoo.com ------------------------------------
